Call me a cracker, honky, whitey, whatever, it doesn't offend me. I know there are some terms that would probably offend Asians, but is Chinaman one of them?

duuno but I've been told that being called oriental is offensive to those people now
Posted on 4/13/16 at 12:51 pm to High C
Yes...it should be "China-Person"
Posted on 4/13/16 at 12:51 pm to High C
Dude, Asian-American is the preferred nomenclature.
Posted on 4/13/16 at 12:51 pm to High C
I doubt a jap or asian would want to be called a chinaman
Posted on 4/13/16 at 12:52 pm to High C
No but our dumbass society has deemed it so.

It's funny because that's really the main "derogatory" word most people use against Asians and they fail to realize that there are other Asians like the Western Asians called "Indians" (dot not feather).....uh oh

I don't get how oriental is offensive at all and I'll argue that all day.
But yeah, chinaman does come across as offensive.

would probably offend some.
then again, calling a black guy 'black' is apparently offensive too

They didn't build the railroad.

This guy doesn't seem to think so.
Posted on 4/13/16 at 12:54 pm to High C
"Chinaman" is not the preferred nomenclature...Asian-American, please.
Posted on 4/13/16 at 12:54 pm to High C
Depends.
If you said I was hung like a chinaman I would probably be offended.

agree, it literally means "the east," but I guess everyone must find something to be offended by these days
