Chinaman is a made-up word only in the sense that every word is made up. It's as made up as Mexican or Spaniard. Chinaman is the literal translation of the Chinese word for a person from China: 中國人. It could be found in virtually every dictionary to describe a native from China. It was the most used word, in official documents or in the daily routine, to describe a native from China. You can find it in...

I really can't believe how outright racist this forum is. Being so utterly obtuse is a racist act. Holy shit, I had no idea that some of you seemingly normal people were a step away from a Klan membership.
