How have I lived with a Jewish family all my life and never heard ‘Kyke’, yet I was well aware of ‘Faggot’ after only knowing about gay people for much less time?

I haven’t heard anyone use “Jap” outside my grandfather’s generation — and he fought a fucking war against them so no surprise he had some big feels there. But he’s also been dead about 25 years and I’ve never heard the word since.
But also I don’t hang out with racists, so what do I know.

I once met a Chinese girl who was somewhat suspiciously fond of the English slang term (that I hadn’t heard of) “Jap’s Eye” which apparently means “urethral opening” and tbf I would never use the latter term either…
OTOH I had heard the term from time to time and it always came across to me (not Japanese - important caveat) as a pretty mild one, like “frog” for the French. I would be very unsurprised if it were different in the USA though, where there was such a big impact from WW2 and internment.
