Because it is offensive. Hasn't this been discussed 1000x over?

Re: Best Nintendo Models
Some people view it as insensitive.
Yankee is believed to come from the French word l'anglais (meaning English) that is pronounced Yangee. Or atleast that is one belief.

no first time I heard of it? Why is it offensive? It's like John being offended cause he is not called Jonathanyomomma1 wrote:Because it is offensive. Hasn't this been discussed 1000x over?
Oh well I don't want to offend anyone anyway, but why is it offensive?

I agree. I use jap too and don't really give a shit.
It always reminds me of the Anal Cunt song "Don't call Japanese hardcore punk japcore."
However I would never use nip which I am pretty sure is just an abbreviated from of Nippon. Double standard? I guess so. I also don't call people japs. I only use it to refer to Japanese things.
Re: Best Nintendo Models
I didn't know it was used as a derogatory term either. I've used the term "Japs" in conversation quite a few times before. Shit.
Anyway back on topic for the best looking "Mid 90's" Nintendo console. I voted for both SNES and N64. I don't mind the look of the Gamecube and Wii though.
I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes.

anyways, my favorite nintendo model is the model 1 sega. i'm just kidding. but now that i think about it, most nintendo consoles were dog ugly. if a gun was pointed to my head i would say the wii. sleek, simple, one color, and glossy.
if you took a shit, please put it back
Re: Best Nintendo Models
Though it doesnt really make sense, I voted the SNES (PAL SNES)
