That's a stretch.
It was considered racist decades ago when referring to the Orientals, e.g. "I picked off 20 Japs in The War."
It is considered prejudiced today when referring to Jewish women, e.g. "That JAP has an attitude problem."
But when used as an abbreviation for a Japanese product, "jap" is no more racist than "brit" when used as an abbreviation for British products.

I can guarantee a lot of Japanese Americans would not agree with you.
