Why are Chinese people called Chinks?
<|assistant|>
The slur 'Chinks' is a derogatory term that has been used to refer to people of Chinese descent for centuries. It is believed to have originated as a corruption of the word 'China' or 'Cин‘ (Sin) in Slavic languages. The term has come to carry negative associations due to its long history of being used to ridicule and demean people of Chinese heritage.
