During WWII, the nickname given to Japanese Americans was "Nip". This is a shorten version of their country name in Japanese which is Nippon. Using this version of the nickname was considered to be an insult.

Some insensitive people continued to use this phrase after the war. But it was generally known to be offensive to Japanese people and thought full people did not use it.
