If I'm a Jewish girl and people call me a Jap, does that mean they think I'm a spoiled brat or they're nazis or what?

Can I call the police and have them arrested for racism?

"TEIAM!" Problem solved.

AFAIK, Jap is a derogatory term for a Japanese person.

In this case it's an acronym for Jewish American Princess. And yes, it generally means that person thinks you're spoiled.

No, it doesn't.
You could have someone fined for discriminating against you for employment, service, etc.

But general racism? Not illegal.

Not really...
If I tried to get someone arrested for calling
me a cracker, the police would probably laugh.
