"Sheffield United are working to raise their profile among China's millions of soccer fans and became the first foreign club to buy a Chinese team when they purchased a 90 percent stake in second division Chengdu Five Bull on Wednesday."

I'd of just stuck with Chicken Chow Mein and Chop Suey as Siouxsie once said!
Louise Posted 12 January 2006 Posted 12 January 2006 Am I the only person who finds the term 'chink' increadibly racist?
Alexikokopops Posted 12 January 2006 Posted 12 January 2006 "Curly black and kinky, mixed with yellow chinky... can you still say that?" "Oh, aye. You're all right with that, like, because it's a race of people, and it's a food"
Ric Flair Posted 12 January 2006 Posted 12 January 2006 Am I the only person who finds the term 'chink' increadibly racist? I don't, but perhaps i'm in the minority. I use the word frequently when talking about having some chinese food. It's only like them calling us a 'brit' isn't it? Perhaps not.
Ultra Posted 12 January 2006 Posted 12 January 2006 Am I the only person who finds the term 'chink' increadibly racist? No. And I doubt whether the Chinese FOXES of my acquaintance would be too pleased either. This board should welcome Leicester fans of ALL races and nationalities. We're not Leeds or Forest. Racism should have NO place here. Glad to see the thread title's now been changed.
Strokes Posted 12 January 2006 Posted 12 January 2006 Am I the only person who finds the term 'chink' increadibly racist? I don't find it racist one bit, but then i aint chinese

Where does it say we aren't welcoming? Also, is it a racist word? I didn't realise it was. Is the word 'brit' racist aswell when describing a person of british nationality? Somehow I doubt the latter is
Babylon Posted 12 January 2006 Author Posted 12 January 2006 Someone had best tell disney to change the chinky eyes song on their album then.
Head Honcho Posted 12 January 2006 Posted 12 January 2006 Am I the only person who finds the term 'chink' increadibly racist? Oh Perrrlease CHILL OUT will ya! I doubt whether it was meant to be racist and surely that is what matters? What next ban the use of the words black and white on here because someone finds them offensive! Thats the trouble these days too many people get offended by the slightest bloody thing
Cobbo Posted 12 January 2006 Posted 12 January 2006 Someone had best tell disney to change the chinky eyes song on their album then. Walt Disney the facist nazi?

What next ban the use of the words black and white on here because someone finds them offensive! Thats the trouble these days too many people get offended by the slightest bloody thing I agree. Lets forget it because I really cannot be arsed to argue with the PC brigade who will label us all right wing nazis for calling a take away a ch*nky. I blame Edward Wong who I grew up with for telling me his mum and dad run the local ch*nky.
Babylon Posted 12 January 2006 Author Posted 12 January 2006 Walt Disney the facist nazi? I won't dispute that... but they are still selling the albums with that song on. You can get it from amazon. If it's so bad people should lobby for it to be taken off the shelf.

I blame Edward Wong who I grew up with for telling me his mum and dad run the local ch*nky. This thread has completely changed direction now! If someone is unhappy with a post why don't they get in touch with one of the mods and get it changed instead of starting a discussion in General Football on Racism!

Maybe you need to 'chill out'. I did not attempt to censor anyone; I just put across my point of view. I've always been brought up to believe 'chink' is an offensive term up there with the n word, I'm not going to apologize for my principles or my opinion.

I've always been brought up to believe 'chink' is an offensive term up there with the n word, I'm not going to apologize for my principles or my opinion. Some will class me as ignorant, i've just never seen or heard any form of racism using the word Chinky. As far as I was concerned it was a way of decribing a take away. I'm sure i'm not the only one. The P word, The N word of course i've heard and I know they are offensive. Anyway can someone just delete this whole thread.
The People's Hero Posted 12 January 2006 Posted 12 January 2006 The Chinks wouldn't mind. Come on, lighten up, it's like us being called Brits, as has already been pointed out. Anyone who finds that offensive is frankly an over-sensitive moron.

It appears the word may not have been used maliciously. If the writer makes a claim to know Chinese people who are happy with the term then we have to accept their word. However I know many others who would NOT be so relaxed about it. I'd hope that nobody on this forum would dream of using the word "P*ki" on here. This one is in a similar category. When people who avidly follow the FOXES are afraid to go to games for fear of racial abuse, then those of us who care for the club have a duty to stand up and speak up !

The People's Hero Posted 12 January 2006 Posted 12 January 2006 No it isn't, and I'm not. How is it different then? Chinese - Chinks British - Brits I'm not encouraging it's use. But I certainly wouldn't accuse someone of being racist for using either or both. The main evil of it I suppose is that both terms encourage generalisation.

Surely by that method Pakistani- Paki is OK, but clearly everyone who has posted agrees that its not. Maybe people have to accept that some things, whether meant offensively or not, could offend people.
Craig Posted 12 January 2006 Posted 12 January 2006 I opened the thread expecting to read that Warnock had taken the players out for a chinese meal.
