<br>    On Jeutonne's comment:  I wouldn't think "Japanes/ze" and
<br>    "Vietnames/ze" variation would lead to stigmatizing of one or the
<br>    other, in the way that [grizi] is marked in the North.  Cf.
<br>    "Syracus/ze," neither form of which has negative connotations, to my
<br>    knowledge--right, New Yorkers?
