Certain terms are inherently derogatory. It is pretty widely known that terms “nip and/or jap” are derogatory in nature, so just don’t say them. Simple. Using the excuse that somebody will always be offended by something is no more than a poor way of justifying one’s actions. “Someone will always be offended by something” is inept reasoning and therefore fallacious since it is wrong to use derogatory terms either way. There is no way to justify their use.
