Yes, darling Bri, as I said above, I know that here it is an acronym for Jewish-American Princess and am not confused in the least. Despite how it was intended, especially to those of us above a certain age and from the western parts of the country, "Jap" is ugly. It DOES refer to Japanese, and is a hideous slur. My family flinches when someone says that. Can we just say Jewish Princess? Princessy?
