Mercedes-Benz: “The Japs They Just Cry”

Japs Chinks Squints Yellows All seems to cry while LAUGHING at the over priced Hypemobile company Benz compairs themselves to anyone.

Racist words are racist for how they’re used, not depending if they’re an abbreviation or have an alternate meaning. Even the “N word” started off having nothing to do with Africans and was applied to Indians (the original ones in India).

I wrote to MBUSA a few weeks ago regarding this video, this is what I got in response below. I guess this means the video was made for the U.K. and/or other English speaking places.

“We can assure you that this is not a
Mercedes-Benz advertisement and it is
certainly nothing produced here in the U.S. We
have forwarded the link you
sent us to our parent company in Stuttgart, in
the event that they have
seen it or have any information as to its origin.

We apologize for any offense this may have caused
— whatever the source.”

You have to remember that Germans (Krauts – is that racist?) have a superiority attitude that they cannot keep under control. They think the overpriced junk they make is superior to everything else. They just don’t get it because they are also so hard-headed. They don’t realize that the Japanese are whipping their snow white asses steadily and surely.
Eventually they will drown in their own sauer kraut juice and beer.
I say good riddance.

Wikipedia:
Jap is an English abbreviation of the word “Japanese.” Today it is regarded as an ethnic slur, though English-speaking countries differ in the degree they consider the term offensive. Japanese Americans have come to find the term controversial or offensive, even when used as an abbreviation. [1] In the past, Jap was not considered primarily offensive; however, after the events of World War II, the term became derogatory.[2]

The reason why J** is considered offensive by Japanese Americans…IMO
Wikipedia:
Japanese American internment refers to the forcible relocation and internment of approximately 110,000 Japanese nationals and Japanese Americans to housing facilities called “War Relocation Camps”, in the wake of Imperial Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor.[1][2] The internment of Japanese Americans was effected unequally throughout the United States. Japanese Americans residing on the West Coast of the United States were all interned, whereas in Hawaii, where over 150,000 Japanese Americans comprised nearly a third of that territory’s population, an additional 1,200[3] to 1,800 Japanese Americans were interned.[4] Of those interned, 62 percent were United States citizens.[5][6]
Civilian and military officials had concerns about the loyalty of the ethnic Japanese on the West Coast and considered them to be potential security risks, although these concerns often arose more from racial bias than actual risk. Major Karl Bendetsen and Lieutenant General John L. DeWitt each questioned Japanese American loyalty. DeWitt, who administered the internment program, repeatedly told newspapers that “A Jap’s a Jap” and testified to Congress,
I don’t want any of them [persons of Japanese ancestry] here. They are a dangerous element. There is no way to determine their loyalty… It makes no difference whether he is an American citizen, he is still a Japanese. American citizenship does not necessarily determine loyalty… But we must worry about the Japanese all the time until he is wiped off the map.[15][16]

Jewish American Princess?? Well that’s new to me…

Jap on the other hand seems like an ‘abbreviation’(Spelling?) to me.
It’s used by fat-ass Americans that are to lazy to pronounce the whole thing.

whoever posted the LAST comment… Not you Ric…

Whoever posted that first comment needs to hang out with different people. Yes, it is. Just as much as n****r. so if these terms get edited out, then j** should too. Just because you don’t hear japanese and japanese americans constantly bitching, (we’re too busy getting educations and doing something with our lives) doesn’t mean it isn’t offensive. Please, PLEASE hang out with people that you can actually learn from. Try and expand your world past the front porch.

it is american sung, or written. “beemer” (I learned it to be bimmer form people near bimmers)and “C.S.I.” if to see the video it may have been obvious to say but I didn’t. Jap isn’t racist. thats like “hispanic” “negro” or “caucasian”. Acronym, abbreviation, who cares.

Weren’t they both in the Axis powers? Why the sudden enmity?

I was just reading some funny discussion about this over at MBWORLD.

That song was so corny I couldn’t even let myself read the rest of it.

I don’t need Urban Dictionary to tell me that “Jap” is racist. I can’t believe this thing got past anyone in the brass. Looks like the cat is out of the bag now. Mercedes… you got some ’splainin to do!

“Jap” is certainly still a racist term – but I am not sure how credible a source Urban Dictionary is.
