Didn't mean to give offence - as I'm sure Cindy didn't, but I was propelled back in time half a century when I read her posting.
I think there is a basic difference in intent between the phrases you quote and those deliberately designed to malign and demean a whole group of people in a generalised way. I believe the term 'chink' refered to people with slanting eyes.
Sorry, forgot to sign last posting.
