Do the Chinese people find the word “Ping” racist? Just checking.
RE: Do the Chinese people find the word “Ping” racist? Just checking.
I don’t think they will ( and believe me, I speak the language having lived and worked in Taiwan for sometimes ).
Chinese is a “tonal” language where the meaning of a word depends on the tone you put in it.
So “ping” could mean different things in Mandarin ( depending on the tone ).
It could mean “spell”, “balance”, “vase”, etc.
So, how could you put a racist connotation to it?
No, but “Pong” is.
