This has got to be a parody. But if it isn’t, there is something not together right with the petitioners because it took me quite a while to figure out what they thought “NIPS” alluded to.
How old are these folks to react in such a way?

None of the young people in the photographs above the article look Japanese to me…

Ok, now I’m completely confused. Why Japanese??

The common World War II racial slur “Nips” was a shortening of “Nippon,” a long-archaic English name for Japan that some Japanese businesses still use in their formal titles today (the huge Japanese “Higashi-Nippon Bank,” for example). It was considered a more intense slur than “Japs.”
Television movie channels no longer show those old wartime films where John Wayne would grab a case of dynamite and yell, “Come on! We’ll blast those Nips back forty generations!”

I am sorry to say that I know enough of the situation that I know it’s not a parody. But there’s more politics behind it than meets the eye, and there are other agendas at stake than just protesting the name. And I’ll stop here.

I honestly hope that the name is just an excuse. It’s too sad otherwise.
