Creepia Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 It can be used in a derogatory way, but isn't it also just like calling someone an Englishman or Frenchmen or something? It doesn't have to be a racial slur, but you can use it as one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGPLX. Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 ^Englishman and Frenchman don't have the same negative racial connotations which I think is the main point. I don't think it's necessarily really racist, but I still wouldn't say it. It's not totally bad but it's bad enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generations Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 Yes. Especially if the person is not actually Chinese. And even if they are...I mean, how is it any different than saying "African man"? You would never just call someone "African man"...nor should you call them "China man". Definitely racist. The bit about "Frenchman" and "Englishman" certainly brings up questions of what is acceptable and why...but, I don't know...those are just different. Probably because French and English people refer to themselves that way. I don't believe Chinese people have ever referred to themselves as Chinamen...that slang definitely brings about visions of Chinese slave workers digging mines and shit...

LEGION Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 "Chinaman" is used as a slur for anyone, who looks distinctly East-(South-)Asian. "Frenchman" and "Englishman" is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southern Comfort Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 Yes it is an ethnic slur. It is like the word *Censored*. *Censored* comes from the word negro (Spanish for black), but due to dialects became *Censored*. Both words didn't originate with negative connotations, but grew to have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shindol Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 It can be used in a derogatory way, but isn't it also just like calling someone an Englishman or Frenchmen or something? It doesn't have to be a racial slur, but you can use it as one. The similar terms you're looking for are Chineseman and Chinesemen and there's nowt wrong with those.

WNX Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 Dunno if it's so much racist as it is ignorant. You'd have to ask an Asian, more specifically the Chinese. If you called a Japanese, Taiwanese, Thai, Korean, even a Malay a chinaman, they won't dig it due to disassociation. Idiots always wanna assume the only Asian race is Chinese. Not their fault for not being able to know the difference, but don't just assume either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam the d00d Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 I guess it is but it's not even a good one. Not even fun to say in private. Gook is more fun to say. More clever too. Chinaman is so *censored*ing lame and uncreative it shouldn't even be a slur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
