chinks

commonly used by Brooklyn Jews in 1950-1970's conversation with each other, only in private when hungry. We would never personally addressed a Chinese person as a chink as no slur or insult by us was intended. We sometimes said chinks instead of saying Chinese restaurant. It wasn't used by us to denigrate anyone, it was used by us as an endearing term, much more so then a hateful one, believe it or not. Not all slang is used in hateful way. Considered by far the best Asian food by most Brooklyn, Jews.

We often would go to the Chinks in Brighton Beach to eat. We never got tired of the dragons, their delicious dishes, the small decanters of "pigeons blood " soy sauce, the way hot spicy mustard, the chopsticks, and the good laughs we always had opening the fortune cookies. Brooklyn just wouldn't have been the same without our beloved chinks. A beautiful symbiotic relationship between kikes and chinks. A match made in heaven.
