Why are Chinese people called Chinks?
<|assistant|>
Chinks is an outdated term used to refer to people of Chinese ancestry that has long been considered offensive. It is believed to have derived from the term 'Chinese Cheeks', a term coined by merchants due to their prominent facial features when compared to the average Caucasian person. Despite its inappropriateness, the term still manages to see usage in some contexts, such as its usage by certain wrestlers to refer to each other in a friendly manner.
