due to my earlier knowledge, the term "chink" was supposed to be a disrespectful way of calling chinese people. but somehow it became an usual word that some chinese kids call themselves today. i don't see a lot of koreans going around calling themselve "gook, or hispanic people calling themselve "spic". black people also get offended when u use the word "nigger" in front of them. i don't understand y would people use a racial slur to describe their own nationality.

Personally I really don't like the world "chink" because it is a racial slur just like any other racial slurs to different races. "Chink" to me, is just as bad as someone calling a black person "nigger." It is as though you are emphazing on their outer appearance and their color. Even though I am chinese, it is disgrace and I think it is disrespectful to use it even in a joking way. To me, I don't take these jokes very lightly. It puzzles me how so many people still use racial slurs as a joke. It seems like the more people use it in a joking matter, the more it becomes "acceptable" and "approapriate" and I just don't seem anything funny about that.
