Get the Japemug. The act of dehumanizing a group of people by using a broad, often derogatory term to characterize them, with the intent of reducing or eliminating empathy toward that group.
Etymology: Derived from the term "Jap," a historically offensive slang used primarily during World War II to refer to Japanese people in a derogatory manner. The verb "japing" extends this root to describe the broader act of using reductive or dehumanizing language against any group, reflecting the original term's connotation of prejudice and oversimplification.
