In America.
Here in Australia, Nip (Nippon being old spelling of Nihon which is Japan in Japanese) is the slur.
The US used to use that as well but I dunno if younger people would be aware of it these days. There's an old ee cummings poem that mentions "nipponized" metal.
Nippon still gets used today in names of places or organizations, and the sports chant equivalent of "USA! USA!" is "Nippon cha cha cha!"
Yes, In the US. That is what I meant.

I was just trying to warn OP that it might be taken the wrong way. I know about the differences between English dialects. My favorites are Australian English, South African English, and Ugandan English.
