During and after WWII, the word "Jap" was used in a very derogatory manner.

To add to the difficulties Japanese Americans experienced as a result of the war with Japan, American internment camps were put up, especially on the West Coast, and the freedoms most Americans take for granted were stripped from Japanese Americans who were sequestered there for the duration of the war, some of whom had been here for multiple generations. Many of them had their land confiscated as well.

The word "Jap" represents and reflects a very bad time that we'd all like to put behind us, so it is now considered a very rude word.
