“But the chinks”
Interesting choice of words. I recall as a kid during the Cold War that there was no shame in calling a communist a communist or a ChiCom a chink. Similarly, during WWII the Japanese were simply called Japs, sometimes gooks. Today that would not be PC.
I am not condemning you, just merely pointing out that in times of war people create names for the enemy, and China is our enemy and we are at war.
Again, it's not racist. It does not encompass all Asian peoples, just a particular country.
It's definitely not PC, but that dog just doesn't hunt anymore. Anytime we point out the obvious, our enemies shame us into retraction by saying it's racist/not PC/misogynistic. Whatever.
