chosen: The term "Chink" was originally used as a derogatory term to refer to Chinese people. The term is of Cantonese origin and is used to describe the small openings between wood and bamboo slats which were used in Chinese exclusion laws and structures as locking mechanisms. This slang term eventually came to be used to refer to the people themselves, who are often seen as the lock pickers and breakers of such laws and barriers.
