Hey come on. It's all in good humour. To most westerners, all asians are chinks or gooks. Big deal. Get over it.

Actually the word chinamen is from the Chinese word "zhi na ren" meaning a weak and feeble man who kow tows (in chinese its ke tou, another english word derived from Chinese) in front of any opposition.
I assume China is actually derived from chinamen as there is nothing in the chinese language that means the country which remotely sounds like China.
The chinese word for China is Zhong Guo, or the middle kingdom.
As to the song, the reason asians are easily portrayed as such is because in the past (say the 80s), asians probably didn't have enough political clout to really do anything.
Also, many Asians, due to a history of being exploited by their government whether domestic or foreign imperialist, have adopted a mindset of "if I don't make trouble, it'll all blow over" sort of approach.
Thus even in the states, you'll see asian american citizens who have the right to vote but demonstrate no political activism.
uh get your facts straight. china comes from Qin, the guy who united all of china.

I have never heard this interpretation. Regardless, Chinamen does come from the word " zhi na ren".

On the website it said Miss Jones and her staff agreed to donate a weeks salary to the Tsunami fund. I'm sure she did it willingly. :roll:

China is derived from the dynasty of Qin, which in the Wade-Giles spelling is Ch'in . Thus that is how you get China.

Hot97 plays primarily rap/hip hop. I hope you realize that there is a large majority young asians that listen to rap/hip hop, one of them being me and all of my asian friends. In fact, the last asian college party I went to played nothing but rap/hip hop.
