Chinaman is an ethnic slur?
I’m a bit confused. Chinaman is offensive? Is it not the same as saying the Irishman or Englishman?
Or was there something else to what the guy said?
chinaman is a racial slur?
He’s a white male; therefore, he must be fired!
What in the world? I suppose “Chinaman” is a bit out of date as a term, but would it still have been a “slur” if he’d said “Chinese man”?
The media’s syrupy and continual adulation of Woods becomes very tiresome over the course of 18 holes. Often when a white player maked a poor shot a scathing remark such as “Raggedy!” issued forth from the announcer.
Let Woods slice one or miss a perfectly gainable putt, and 90% of the time, excuses are offered or if it just becomes necessary to meaningfully criticize his playing it’s done quickly, with few barely audible words and then dropped.
Old world and Old South, eh? Nope, no bias there.
Should he have said “the golfer of Chinese origin” instead?
But, the media refuse to excoriate any black who spews racial slurs against whites because:
a. White’s deserve it’, and/or
b. Some blacks are discendants of slaves.
Got a news flash for all the PC ninnies out there.
When Liang is speaking with other Chinese, I guarantee he refers to whites as “Lao Wai” - a slightly nicer version of “Gueilo”, the Cantonese term for foreign devil.
“Lao Wai” means “Old Foreigner”, and is used even in America - by Chinese immigrants here, to describe whites.
Daily. I guarantee it.
IDIOT!!!
He should have said “Chinawoman.”
This PC BS has gone way too far.
Sounds like it’s Bobby Clampett’s time for the Two Minute’s of Hate.
Where is this going to end? (rhetorical)
I recently referred to someone as “oriental” and was told that was a racial slur also. I can’t keep up. I did not intend to slur the person- simply to describe him. Is that even possible anymore? It was explained to me that “Asian” is now the PC term ..
On second thought, he should have said “orientalman.”
This is stupid! Since when is it a SLUR to call anybody a MAN?...................
In response, he said, “Oh so solly!”
The defining moment; is Wen-Chong Liang a Chinaman?
Chinaman is an old slur. I think it dates back to the coolies, late 1800s. Just as Oriental is considered a slur when applied to an Asian person, rather than the region.
Chinaman does not equal Frenchman, Irishman, Dutchman, etc. To make it equal it would be Chineseman.
This is all trivial stuff, but those are the correct answers. Personally, I find it humorous that anyone would worry about it. If Mr. Clampett gets any kind of reprimand, it would be complete injustice.
As to the fawning over Tiger Woods. It’s deserved. It has nothing to do with his ethnicity, he is simply the best, and quite possibly the best to ever pick up a golf club. Tiger has charisma, physical ability, and mental toughness. When I watch, I want to know what Tiger is up to.
