Melissa is definitely not as smart as she thinks she is. Sayuko is obviously a Japanese name. So, technically, the correct disparaging term would have been (and I profusely apologize for this, in advance, btw) "J*p." Or, even more archaically, "n*p!"

The latter was the racist term used by American civilians and servicemen, alike, for both Nisei and Japanese nationals during WWII. Indeed, the word was quite often used by the cast of the b/w 1960's sitcom "McHale's Navy!" Which would explain why one seldom sees reruns of that show, anymore.

Author's Response: Yeah, you're right. Sayuko IS Japanese. And the c-word was the first word that came to my mind when I was writing that part. I had a lot to work on here. @.@
