A prior version of this article was nominated for AfD on 6/29. That AfD was closed early because the content was completely replaced. Consequently, it will have no precedential value in terms of any future attempts to delete this article. - CrazyRussian talk/ email 20:00, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
This looks like it can never be any more than a dictionary definition of a slang term. It's also got neutrality problems. Secretlondon 13:46, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
I'm a bit surprised that this is here at all. The context of the upheld BBC complaint seems tenuous. As it's from a comedy program and the word is put in the mouth of a certain character. So it was upheld as having no racist meaning in that context. So that's hardly the complaints people saying the word isn't racist as I would have thought most British people do think the word is racist or has racist tones. It's generally frowned on anyway. So it's a bit surprising to have an article about it. Secondly racialist isn't correctly used, the correct word ought to be racist.
Shouldn't this be at Chinese takeaway? The article is about the type of takeaway, not about the term "chinky".-- h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 14:10, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
I have removed material about the cuisine and made it exclusively about the term - it would be nothing short of racist to describe the subject of Chinese cuisine here, as the term is clearly offensive to Chinese people (see references). A similar case is using the article Paki shop to describe shops run by South Asians - the AfD for "Paki shop" suggested a merge for that article to List of ethnic slurs and I'm inclined to do the same here.

This article is also badly written and contains misspellings and a link to a non-existant article, "paki shop". I suggest it be deleted and have "Chinkies" and "Chinky" redirect to Chink. Impulsion ( talk) 12:15 17 December 2008
They're derived from the same source word but they mean very different things. -- 2.123.69.136 ( talk) 13:07, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
They certainly don't mean very different things. They mean exactly the same thing. The word "chinky" is a slur that refers to any East Asian people, and the only reason it's mostly associated with Chinese take aways is because they're the only places where the kind of people who use the ethnic slur in the UK would normally have any contact with East Asian people.

Most ethnic chinese people do find this term offensive regardless of age and background.There are strong enough citations that the term is deemed offensive. The lack of perspective from both sides on this article makes this wiki page as a source of justifying racial bullying.
