Did Obama just say Japs?

haha if he did, whoopsies... as far as derogatory terms go though he could've said much worse... here are some of my favs:

dink
zipper-head
gook
 
I never understood why Japs is derogatory still (I know it wasn't used positively during the war, but still). That's like being offended by being called an Aussie instead of an Australian, it's just shorter and easier to say.

Obligatory:

 
"Mike wants the defense to do well, and Sean, he's going to have a few ... no disrespect for the Orientals, but what we call Jap plays. OK. Surprise things."
