Dark Star now owned by the Japanese

Am I allowed to get a takeaway Chinky anymore?

Probably not. The term is much less acceptable than it was when it featured in that (1970s?) melting pot song ( a little bit of white boy... a little bit of Chinky...)

God there are some horrendous bellends on this board desperate to be offended by something.

How on earth is Jap an offensive term?

I went to Japan during the world cup and had a great time with the Japs. Amazing people.

That's nice. I have spent many years of my life living in Japan and, I'm not trying to start an argument here, the Japanese definitely see that term as derogatory in nature.

Do any of them post on here? If so and they were offended then I’ll be happy to apologise to them.

I genuinely didn't know that was now seen as an unacceptable racist term. I struggle to keep up.

it's not....like saffa , zimby , aussie , ........there is no way jap is unacceptable. like someone else said there are people out there just dying to be offended.
