The usage of the word Chinki in India is not akin to the usage in the western world. Over here we even refer to Bengalis as Bongs, people from AP as Goltis, and people from Gujarat as Gujjus. We dont mean to be racist, its just a slang.
Incorrect.
The Indian Government actually made this word illegal recently. If it is not offensive, why make it illegal?
And here... from your own media, and your own NE Indians:
Northeast students question 'racism' in India - India News - IBNLive
"It's sad that students from northeast India who go to study in various parts of India have to undergo racial prejudice. My daughter also studied in New Delhi. I was surprised when she told me over phone during her stay in the city that her fellow students in the colleges calls her a 'chinky', because of her mongoloid features and she was depressed," said noted Assamese poet and columnist Samir Tanti.
"Calling someone 'chinky' (referring to small eyes) is racial in nature. I know all the northeastern are known as chinky in Delhi and other parts of India," the poet said.
Again, against a woman. The daughter of a famous Assamese poet no less.
Try it against women when men are around, and end up like that Western guy who got the sh*t kicked out of him in that video.
