I agree with everything you said, but I want you to be aware that the term "Jap" has some extremely negative/slur connotations that I don’t think you intended related to US concentration camps during WW2. It’s not just an abbreviation.

Hmm. Doing a quick Google, that seems to be a US specific slur. Doesn't seem to carry the same connotations elsewhere. That's an interesting question, what is correct / expected behaviour with a term that is used normally and neutrally in some parts of the world, but is a slur in others?
