Chino means “Chinese”, technically, in Spanish; some Latinos will randomly say “dímelo chino,” whatever that is supposed to mean. Qué significado tiene esa frase? Porque…Dejé de tratar de averiguarlo. Lol.
Additionally, many Spanish-speaking people use “chino” as a catch-all term to describe any and all persons of Asian descent. Therefore it must be specified—Si tu primer idioma en la vida es el español o tal vez incluso tu segundo o tercer idioma, aquí hay algunos ejemplos para usar la palabra "chino" (y otras palabras para describir personas asiáticas) correctamente.
1. Chino/Chinese. “Él es chino porque es del país de China.”
2. Japonés/Japanese. “Él es japonés porque es del país de Japón.”
3. Coreano/Korean. Te entiendes? You get it, I hope.
4. Vietnamita/Vietnamese.
5. Camboyano/Cambodian.
6. Tailandesa/Thai.
7. Indonesio/Indonesian.
8. Filipino…the same
9. Malasio/Malaysian
10. Singaporeano/Singaporean.
11. Balinés/Balinese.
12. Laosiano/Laotian.
13. Bután/Bhutanese.

This word is used by Mexicans who describe people with curly hair. Chino is Asian in Spanish but chino is used as a slang word for curly hair.
"Aye yo chino how ya doin ese" "Why did u just call me Asian i'm black?" "nah u got curly hair g" "ohhhhh"
