Andrew Peter Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 used that word couple of times again today and I am still free . Its just pure banter thats all with No need to make any fuss . Ching Chong , Kaancha , Watchman and Chinese stall are other terms used as a form of light banter .
Crookbond Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 When did this word - Chinki - made it to Indian mainstream vocabulary anyway? I spent 4 years of my Engineering with about 100 or so, if not more, folks from NE states and can never remember this word being uttered. Or back my hometown which sees a lot of Budhist tourists. Or in Bombay where I worked. Honestly this word was introduced to me, and most folks like me, when we travelled abroad and were introduced to whole Asian Chinki thingy. I agree it is disrespectful but since when did it became a mainstream word in the first place?? Just typical stereotypes mostly in the North and Central part of India, just like my friends in Delhi believe that these "Chinkis" eat dog meat. :facepalm:
Andrew Peter Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 ^Nagas do eat Dog meat , infact its one among their special dishes . Selling Dog meat in Nagaland is as common as fish being sold in Mumbai . Dont know how do they manage to eat that crap thou , some similarities with chinese there for sure .
Crookbond Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 ^ And there are a lot of other people who are called "Chinkis" than just folks from Nagaland and Mizoram. #TrueStory
Number Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 There is a family from N-E in my neighborhood, and one of their daughters,is of same age as mine has petname chinki. :giggle: Not sure by what name I'll call her next time.
Texy Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 So lungi is still fair game. as long as it is Nandu brand
punjabi_khota Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 In, Munnabhai MBBS, the heroine is named chinki. Sanjay Dutt back to jail again :omg:
daryl1985 Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 used that word couple of times again today and I am still free . Its just pure banter thats all with No need to make any fuss . Ching Chong , Kaancha , Watchman and Chinese stall are other terms used as a form of light banter . If someone is cool with their friends calling them that then it is light hearted banter but if a stranger says it then it is not. Unfortunately my mother and aunt use the term ching chong when referring to people who are from North East India or the Far East and general (never to their faces) and i have been trying to get them to stop that bad habit for years.
Desi Cartman Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 used that word couple of times again today and I am still free . Its just pure banter thats all with No need to make any fuss . Ching Chong , Kaancha , Watchman and Chinese stall are other terms used as a form of light banter . I had a colleague of sri lankan origin in Australia who called people from the sub continent as "Curries" to me thats insulting and if not racist then at least stupid. Since she herself from the sub continent I dont know what made her feel ok to say something like this, I for one told her that I dont like to be identified by a food item. Now for chinki, there maybe people who are ok or some friends might not object but that doesnt mean that its a nice thing to say.
suraj Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 i like to call girls from North east "hot"; most of them are smoking

Crookbond Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 Indians and our language is "India" just as like we say China's language as "Chinese" :facepalm:
