In 100% of situations I am 100% against using racial slurs for any reason, but I'll definitely make an exception to call Sintendo 小日本. If you know you know.
Cool, so you've outed yourself as someone not 100% against racial slurs. If Nintendo was a black-owned company, would you have done the same?
No judgment either way, just info:
This spells "xiao riben" in Chinese. To anyone not familiar, this is derogatory Chinese slang for Japanese people, basically meaning "little Japanese person". English speakers would use the term midget or runt. It hails back to WWII, when it was commonly believed that the Japanese were smaller than the Chinese.
