Um, you guys, don't get me wrong but...is the word 'chinks', 'japs' or 'viets' offensive?!?!?! [livejournal.com profile] drowsyphoenix just showed me this really old thread about Michelle Branch, and they're all like, it's a racist slur and shit like that.

I mean honestly. All the Asians here calls themselves a chink or viet or whatever. I'm Chinese, and i call myself a chink. I actually don't know anyone here that finds that offensive, so is it seen as offensive in America?

Just curious :D
