Never call the Japanese - Japs

Tushar Katira

Here is something journos in India need to understand. "Japs" is derogatory akin to calling the Chinese - "Chinks" and south Asians - "Pakis".

Yet most of our newspapers including the pink pages routinely use "Japs" for Japanese. In fact, the Economic Times' Corporate Dossier used the word "Japs" in an article on international etiquette !

I hope some sub editors are reading this and edit "Japs" out from their 20-something reporters, replacing it with "the Japanese".
