What i meant is that when someone -or a collective- use a word that denigrates them on a way in which they empower themselves through it, then we can't talk about them being offended, because they pride and obtain power from it. The word keeps being bad on itself? Yeah, but it loses it's denigratory power to those people.

So when japanese people decide that INDEED, they want to be stereotyped as such, then it can't be offensive to them anymore (nor was it on a first place). By believing those things are still offensive for them (even when they believe otherwhise) it's what actually perpetrates the racism and denigration subtext.
