    There exists a lot of common use terms that some religion/country/subset of population in their own region will found offensive because they are in their dialet or were in their past history.

    Not everyone that write English in forum is an American that knows how American army people called the Japanese army in their history of WW2.

    Then, as long as history were called, the term were not offensive at all, and later became so because the war between the U.S. and Japan.

    I think the guy that called for "racism" and so on, overreacted and did not taken account this is an international forum.

    And, nailing to the topic, this is also an example of how difficult is making text for international purpose. You will found a number of hilarious (and not) names given by innocent companies to their products, but resulted in high embarassment when exported
