I’m currently reading a book for review, and I’m wondering if a word I found should be considered a slur. The word is JAP, as in Jewish American Princess, which I think is pretty offensive to Jews. I’m trying to decide if this is an actual slur, and can be listed as non borderline profanity. I have asked support and will probably end up emailing someone about it since they do tend to give you the run around when you ask questions like this, but I would like to hear your opinions. What do you think? Thanks!

That term is considered a racial slur, as it’s offensive to a certain population. It should be classified as non-borderline profanity, according to the OBC guidelines.

Thank you so much
