and I appreciate your answer. I understand Gook, Chink, Kike, Wop,Polak etc., etc. but I never knew why Chinaman shouold be offensive. Guess it's just because some think it is.

When I was at Umass Amherst we were the Redmen. Now changed ro Minutemen. I always thought of such terms as more of an honor than an insult. Wrong again, I guess!
