Thread Name: Origins: Chink a Boo Man
Subject: RE: Origins: Chink a Boo Man
Chink a Boo, refering to Chinese people, is one of those awful racist phrases that I grew up surrounded by - along with nigger, coon, wog and yid.
It's a bit of a shock hearing it raise its ugly head again - I hope your grand-daughter now regards it with the contempt it deserves.
