originally, a JAP stood for Jewish American Princess. now, it stands for a snobby, usually wealthy person who thinks she is better than someone else. religion does not matter.
on long island, the word is used all the time--even by "jappy" girls themselves. it's not offensive here, although i could see it being a problem other places. some people are proud to consider themselves to be a jap.
when i went to school in VA, i used the word freshman year. someone turned to me and said "how can you talk about japanese people like that!". i was floored. they had never heard the term JAP in any other sense than japanese.
