Quote:I'm sure the term "jap a wave" is intended as a tribute to a race of people considered to be brave, courageous warriors.

 

That doesn't sound like any japs I know, but I am sure you wouldn't misguide me on purpose, so I will accept that term as credible and honorable.

 

On a serious note, I do work with a lot of Japanese employees of Automakers located in the U.S., and for the most part they are no different than working with anyone else ... except on occasions of translation issues. It wasn't that way 20+ years ago, there were huge trust issues (for a lack of a better description), and the cool part is? You couldn't tell they ever existed to begin with.
