Why are Chinese people called Chinks?
<|assistant|>
Chinks is an offensive term for Chinese people, which is derived from the word 'Chin', a transliteration of 'China'. It was originally used in reference to Chinese laborers who emigrated to the US in the mid-19th century and was later used to refer to all ethnic Chinese.
