Well if you think about it Pit for "Kid Icarus" was in Brawl, hadn't been seen in like 20 years I think. A couple years later he got a new game and it was actually really good.
The difference is that we didn't recently round-up the "Brits" or the "Yanks" and put them in internment camps just in case they might have been spies. Anyway, back on topic:
It is a slur, a fairly big one, specifically because of America's WWII internment camps and us being terrified that happy perfectly normal citizens would suddenly defect the moment war started. When we used the word it basically meant they can't be trusted and are future traitors.
I'm sorry guys but you are both such typical Americans.

So as a British person who has been referred to as a Brit by Japanese people I reserve my right to abbreviate Japanese to Jap.
As a British person, I would just like to say that it is universally well known IN BRITAIN that "Jap" is a slur. Stop defending your "right to abbreiviate"
and accept that this happens to be something you were unaware of. It also has nothing to do with being called a Brit- just because they
are abbreviations, doesn't mean their cultural significance is remotely similar. Twit and Tweet sound alike but are very different- thats how words work.
