ive often thought that..
why is it wong? everything gets broken down..
pakistani = paki
nigerians = nigger
johovah's = joho's
chinese = chinks
australians = aussies
french = frogs
japanese = japs
scottish = scots
americans = yanks
and many more
surely the only thing that could be wrong is getting the wrong country/religeon to people mixed up

Frogs isn't a shorter version of French. They are called frogs because they eat frogs legs. Similarly, brits are sometimes referred to as roast beef, germans as krauts, and americans as...er...fat?
