It is indeed, but in some parts they're still called chinks.
A colloquial term for the Common Pheasant in the USA, derived from "Chinese Pheasant".

Roast Ringneck is indeed tasty, as long as you don’t blast it at the peak of its initial flush. It tends to fly straight away and a slight delay in firing will bring it down but with much less shot to spit out later.
That’s all I remember about my first one. Ptoo! Ptoo!

Ho Hum,
Just another knee jerk liberal pushing that tired, old myth that “whitey” is the only racist in the world.
I say to this clown Fei: “Hey, ‘pok malou’, you want a boat load of racist language? Go find out how many crude, rude insults chinese have for us.”
And they use them freely on a daily basis and think nothing of it at all.
Someone, somewhere, somehow has managed to push the “Self Destruct” button on our culture.

“Exactly. Not that the liberal media would even had an editorial slant...”
Oh my, you used the word slant. You must be a racist! /s

There can be no question that the headline intentionally contained a racial epithet towards Lin. Apparently Asians are like Caucasian Christians - in a an era of political correctness, one of the last accepted targets of overt racism. Apparently not since the person who actually wrote the headline got fired. If a similar headline had been written about Christians (of any ethnicity), the editor would have received an award, a raise and maybe a juicy bonus.

Lets hope Asians also wear the same armor that Caucasian Christians wear. If you have common sense, a strong work ethic, and the self discipline to take care of your family and manage your own affairs, you dont care what people say about you. And by all accounts, Jeremy Lin has demonstrated exactly that.
