rejected.content: The term “Chinks” has its origins in the 1600s, when Chinese people began to arrive in Western countries as merchants and laborers. The name Chinks was used to refer to the slits in their clothing which were used to carry goods. Later, Chinks also came to refer to the people themselves. Despite efforts to change its meaning, the term is still widely used as a derogatory reference to Chinese people.
