I think in a generation or two it'll be a harmless term, but with WW2 still fresh in the minds of the older generations it still has a somewhat negative vibe when used by Grandpa..

But I think, coming from generation X, Y & Zers it is meant harmlessly and without any disrespect.. especially on this board where we all look to Japan for kick *** vehicles..
That, my friend, is a great point. The sooner those words can lose those negative connotations, the better off we will be. That's why it upsets me to see people trying to perpetuate these negative connotations. You know that's what you're doing, right Andy?

And yes, I do have friends who have grandpas who are still totally racist and use racist terms. The VAST majority of us (especially here in California) do not perceive the words like *** to have a negative connotation. The sheer stupidity is that it's the very people who are offended by the term are the ones creating the negative connotation on the otherwise totally standard word. A word that normal people would otherwise not take offense to. Make sense?

Andy: Yeah, but don't say that Arabs are the terrorists now you're getting general. But I agree, many people just aren't educated, and many people thinks it's damn funny.

Yeah, did you buy that motor Andy? Also, for some reason I thought you were moving back to Japan. I haven't been to UCKK lately (mostly due to the fact that I'm driving a goddam Neon) so I don't really know who's around. And Gagan get at me f00l!!
