the chinks were oppressed by the west once
when the west becomes the one oppressed by the chinks (a few decades away), then we can consider frenchman to be a slur

>>19814608
You know why

Because chinaman still means a Han chinese person so it has a distinct ethnic valence, whereas a "frenchman" today could be used to describe the 15-20% of France that is from Africa

Chinese leftists aren't suicidal however so its unlikely China will ever drop below 90% Han Chinese

Because what’s considered offensive is subjective and regularly changes. There’s no real basis for it. For example, the politically correct term for niggers in America has changed several times. They’ve been negroes, coloreds, blacks, African Americans, and now they’re people of color.

because franceman is the slur

Why is paki a slur but Brit is not.
It's because deep down, no one, not a single person in the world would be offended to be considered a Frenchman, on the other hand, many would take offense at being called a far inferior specimen like a Chinaman.

Because the French were, are, and always will be the basedest people to live on this planet. You can try to say "you filthy frenchman" in an insulting tone to a french person, all of them would smile smugly and take this as a compliment. Such is the spirit of the french.

If it targets a white person, it's not a slur and it's not bigoted.

Not it can't

People of color are all non-white people not black people.

I think you figured it out.

"The chinaman is not the issue here, dude. I'm talking about drawing a line in the sand, dude. Across this line, you DO NOT... Also, dude, chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature. Asian-American, please."

>>19814608
Because Chinaman was used in a condescending way. In 19th century context a Chinaman wasn't really a man, rather he was a "Chinaman," while Frenchman had no such connotation.

>>19814721
Why can't 3chan get over saying nigger you fucking niggers are tiresome niggers.

Because the English feel more sympathy for the Chinese than the French (the french have always been the anglo's nemesis).

and today no one thinks that

Discord's down for 10 minutes and already (presumably) Strath is here recycling content from there?

Don't you have work to do, janny?

>>19814608
because french is an adjective while china is not
"chinese man" is not a slur, for example
"france man" is not a slur, per se, but it is a little more """offensive"""

>>19814608
Because nothing good has ever been made, concieved, thought of, maintained, created, done or built in the Nation of Hammered Shit. Simple as.

We look down on the Chinese, but have an inferiority complex towards the French.

Because slurs are slurs, usually, not out of meaning or etymology, but usage.

>>19815855
Still, if you think about it for a moment, you may realize it's fucking hilarious that chinaman is an insult. No matter how many times you say franceman and in what context, it will never catch on as an insult.

>look at our situation with that camel fucker in Iraq

>>19815870
chinaman isn't an insult either. the being offended by it, or any other word, is just a means of control. these people are taking advantage of our sensibilities. we are at war. read sun tzu.

>>19815887
>read chinaman
I'm alright.

>>19814608
Chinaman isn't a slur, it's just antiquated. Frenchman isn't a slur, but it should be.

Words like Jap and Nip (as in Nippon) are slurs because these faggots got BTFOd and they're asspained by the memory of being called that.
