Well I am a Christian and I don't slur all of any group. I used an adjective on a specific individual. Clearly some are simply too stupid to understand the difference. I also don't slur Koreans or the Vietnamese. you took the time to capitalize Japanese American and Brit and even Limey, but you did not seem to respect Christians, Koreans or the Vietnamese. Does your typing reveal the secrets of your inner mind? I use whatever word conveys whatever meaning best. And I attempt to be very specific with respect and insult. And I am quite amused by fools who go stupid over elements of style.
