Chinky
In the United Kingdom, a chinky (alternatively known as a chinky chonky) is a Chinese takeaway restaurant, or the meal that one buys from such a restaurant. The name "" is the adjectival form of chink, and like chink is an ethnic slur for Chinese people. After several campaigns by the Scottish Executive, more people in Scotland now acknowledge that this name is indirectly racist. However the BBC Broadcasting Standards Commission held in 2002 that when used as the name of a type of restaurant or meal, rather than as an adjective applied to a person or group of people, the word carries no racist connotation. These restaurants are known for serving food that no native of China would recognize as Chinese food. Stereotypically, their food is cheap, and the restaurants themselves the subjects of popular prejudice that, according to Gill, makes it "difficult to improve the quality and sophistication of the dishes, or to charge more". Chinky (Chinki) is also a derogatory term widely used throughout India to refer to anyone who has facial appearances similar to a Chinese person, such as Northeast Indians with flat noses and almond shaped eyes.
