i understand where you're coming from, but cultural sensitivity can sometimes end up so squeamish about offending a People that you end up treating them with kid gloves

You misunderstand, perhaps. Conventionally, calling a Japanese person a Nip is considered more offensive than calling them a Jap; by making a rational, culturally aware, case for Nip, I was attempting to point out the absurdity of political correctness police attempting to speak on behalf of those with alien ethnicities.
