They were forced to change it years ago.

In case you're nostalgic about the chinks, the Pekin High class of '61 offered ruby red "Pekin Chinks" commemorative mugs at their re-union last year. You may still be able to get one. The new team name, btw, is the dragons, although it could just as easily have been the drag-queens. The town is now dotted with gay bars, one of which was recently burned down. The usual accusations followed until the arsonist was arrested and convicted. He was the jilted ex-boyfriend of the bartender.
