The last generation that like actually hated Japs were the ones that fought in WW2. They called 'em Nips. Therefore, I see that as the most valid English language slur.
Now, the real question is what did Nipponese great Grandpas call my great Grandpas?
"Sir," most likely, since oddly enough, though the Nipponese went to war with the United States as hard as they could, they did it while holding no actual animus with the Country or its people. They fought the Chinese, and the Russians, and the Chinese, and then the Americans, all out of very strategic reasoning.
Pretty weird, when you think about it, and pretty sad, when you think about how it's pretty weird. Imagine just being able to accept that war is about resources, and not about some people being good or bad.
