I don't get this.

In this paragraph you defend yourself about some apparently bigoted and certainly inflammatory remarks you made, pointing out that you don't agree with them, you know them not to be true, and indeed you were not the one who put the comments into the post in the first place. This is understandable. I can accept it.

Why, then, when you're obviously making an effort to show people that you don't think wrongly of the Japanese, do you refer to them as "the Japs"?
