It's interesting that the three-letter slang term for Japanese was auto-filtered, but another (arguably more derogatory) term starting with "n" in a different thread wasn't. Probably becasue that word has another more common meaning.

Ummm..apparentley you missed the thread where the initials for Jewish American Princess were deemed unacceptable 'shorthand' for Japanese and filtered. :shock:

'Nips' seems to be okay 'short' for Nipponese...for now...go figure... :roll:

Exactly the observation I was making. I know the acceptance of the "J" word has been debated here in the past..I was just surprised that the "other" word got through no problem.

The point is the paper didn't say "NIPS QUIT". It said the other, so if I had sent in a picture of the front page in would it have been censored also?

Thanks for posting that stuff. You may want to see if one of the local Air Museums would be intersted in them.

Well, one of the front pages I posted says "American Subs Sink Three <J> Ships." I guess as long as the word is used or shown in a historical context it's OK. Kinda like nose art..a WWII vintage pic of a nekkid girl on an airplane is fine here, but I doubt that a straight-up present day girlie pic would be acceptable.

AIRNUTZ,
You've nailed it exactly! And 'we' is anyone a 'foaming at the mouth' P.C.er deems as needing that title so they can justify their (the P.C.er's) point of view that you are picking on and denigrating the gay whales for Jesus minority-
P.C. THIS :finga:
