While not really as racist as it
derogatory counterpart
chink, it is, while not as explicit, describing the eyes of those of East
Asian descent (aka
China,
Japan, Korea,
Vietnam, the
Philippines, etc.). The word usually doesn't have the same racial effect when used by two Asians, as opposed to the exchange of someone of another race (i.e:
Caucasian-Asian,
African American-Asian,
Hispanic-Asian, etc.).

Eric (Caucasian): Sup, chinky face, wanna get a quickie?
Kimberly (Japanese-American): -smacks Eric- Racist demon!
