[Polybius]

an August 1945 Indianapolis Times carried the headline: “Japs Surrender.” That was the big story at the time, although a framed copy of the newspaper was recently removed from the halls of an Indiana VA hospital in the interest of political correctness.

How come it's Politically Incorrect to say "Japs" but still Politically Correct to say "Brits"?

If the Japanese made headlines every day in 2009, would newspaper editors really be printing out J*a*p*a*n*e*s*e in every headline every day or would they be printing out "Japs"?

If Franklin Delano Roosevelt made headlines every day in 2009, would newspaper editors really be printing out F*r*a*n*k*l*i*n D*e*l*a*n*o R*o*o*s*e*v*e*l*t in every headline every day or would they be printing out "FDR"?

Just a rhetorical question pointing out the silliness of Political Correctness.
