WICHITA, Kan. — Kansas is recalling hundreds of vehicle license plates on the streets containing the “JAP” lettering in the wake of complaints that it is an ethnic slur offensive to Japanese Americans.

The Kansas Department of Revenue said there are 731 active registrations containing that random letter combination on standard license plates. Vehicle owners were sent a letter dated Tuesday asking them to return the plate to their county vehicle office within 30 days for replacement at no cost. Plates not replaced within that period will be identified in the state’s system and will be replaced at their annual renewal.

Living in Commiefornia, I am waiting for the day that they try to recall my “TRUMP 45” Vanity License Plates.

I’m sure I have offended numerous SJW’s just because I drive to the Grocery Store.

JAPS-Olson I am truly surprised it hasn’t been protested.”

As long as they never buy a ball bearing from FAG they ought to be alright. (^:
