Jjokbari
Korean language anti-Japanese slur
Jjokbari (Korean: 쪽발이, borrowed into Japanese as チョッパリ, romaji choppari) is a Korean language ethnic slur which may refer to Japanese citizens or people of Japanese ancestry.[1] A variation on the slur, ban-jjokbari, meaning literally "half-jjokbari", has been used to refer to mixed Japanese-Korean people, as well as Koreans in Japan who returned to the peninsula.
According to one survey, it was South Korea's second-most commonly used slur against Japanese people, ahead of wae-nom (왜놈; 倭놈; lit. Wae bastards) and behind ilbon-nom (일본놈; 日本놈; lit. Japanese bastards).[2]
The term has also been borrowed into Japanese language spoken by ethnic Koreans in Japan, where it is rendered Choppari.[3][4]
