Chinaman (/ˈtʃaɪnə.mən/) is an offensive term referring to a Chinese man or person, or widely a person native to geographical East Asia or of perceived East Asian ethnicity. The term is noted as having pejorative overtones by modern dictionaries.[a] Its derogatory connotations evolved from its use in pejorative contexts regarding Chinese people and other East Asians,[2] as well as its grammatical incorrectness which resembles stereotypical characterizations of Chinese accents in English-speaking associated with discrimination.[3][4][5] The usage of the term Chinaman is strongly discouraged by Asian American organizations.[6][7][8][9]
