A racist term, derived by the word "chink", to describe anyone of Eastern Asian descent (i.e. Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, etc.). Not a "cool" term since it has been used against us in a negative fashion for centuries in the United States.

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.).
