And it’s a racial slur. I couldn’t understand how they could name a conference that from the first time I heard of it. I pointed out how horrible it was for years. Ai people didn’t seem to care...
Hi James. And iPad was a bad name because people would associate it with women's hygiene products. Will the nonsense never end?

So you agree that they were wrong, just as you were in trying to change NIPS's name. That's progress.

Really? I’ve never heard of the ipad women’s hygiene product but Nips was a very common derogatory slur (exact spelling). Any Japanese friends in the US would have heard it and hated it. Watch any 1950s-60s WWII movie if you want to see it used. Your defense of NIPS is nonsense.

The Japanese people I know found it funny. But then again, being offended on other people's behalf is a woke specialty. (And the point is, people can distinguish between NIPS and body parts, just as they can between iPads and hygiene pads.)
