It is very much humor or sarcasm, Kurisu-san.
That's why I was wondering. Sarcasm would indicate contempt for my idea. And sarcasm without explanation just seems rude. It's hard to tell reading text like this. Was your intention to implicitly insult me and my idea by making me sound like a right-wing conspiracy nutcase extremist? Or were you just making a good-natured joke?

Ladies and Gentlemen,
The reason for PC is here. Oversensitive people looking for a reason to be offended. Free speech does not entitle you not to be offended. Get over it.

You misunderstand and misrepresent me. Use someone else for your examples...

It's been over thirty years now since I "wasted my last Gook." Not a day goes by that I don't hear the explosions in the distance. Those little bastards still show up in my dreams.
Cut your dad some slack--there is no way (thanks to him and the brave people like him) that you can possible understand why he felt the way he did.
Maintaining the hatred, and even using dehumanizing epithets for the enemy, are what kept him going. These traits may have stuck past the time that they were "socially appropriate" but that's part of the price you have to pay. You can't just turn them off.
You misunderstood me. My Dad was a perfectly wonderful man! Actually, my Dad lost his dislike for the Japanese (after all, they visited our home often enough), but my Dad failed to give up the term *Jap* for some reason or another. Old habits sometimes fail to go away. I mentioned the Japanese Minister of Propaganda (during World War II) who was a very welcome guest at our home after the war. My Dad was very cordial to him.
I, myself, maintain no hatreds. I simply put negative people of my mind and continue on with my life. I have too many positive things in my life to waste time with hatred.
