      It’s less that it’s a direct translation and more that a natively Japanese person isn’t likely to be aware of the vaguely racist vibes “a Japanese” has to a native English speaker

      There is no word that means just “Japanese” in Japanese. 日本人 specifically means Japanese person and is just the words Japan and person smashed together
