Mahirap to! Sa alam ko intsik ang tagalog word for Chinese. Yung sa comment na karamihan ng mga Chinese, Chinese lang ang gusto nilang pakasalan mostly applied sa mga Filipino-Chinese lalo na ang mga traditonal Fujianese families.

Kung pumunta ka sa Hong Kong or sa mainland, iba ang mentality ng mga tao doon.

Yeah i thought intsik was just a tagalog slang word for Chinese. I dind't know they find it offensive. Like pinoy or something

I find chink o chekwa more offensive than intsik.

Paano yung mga foreigners sa Hong Kong kung tawagin silang gweilo, don't they get offended o any caucasian being called Joe in Manila?

tigidig14 · November 25th, 2005, 08:02 AM

^yeah we call them joe mama

Lili · November 25th, 2005, 09:21 AM

Why should they be offended? They started it with GI Joe. Kids during the war were taught to call soldiers "Hey Joe, come here. Give me candy."

kyle@1008 · November 25th, 2005, 12:55 PM

Actually The British used it first due to the fact that they had alot of settlements in China including HK

manileño · November 26th, 2005, 08:19 AM

just call them Chino. Thats the more politcally correct term.

the Welcome Arch in Binondo specifically says "Arko ng Pagkakaibigang Pilipino-Tsino".

Pag intsik kase parang naaassociate ko sa 'singkit' which is kinda 'racist' or 'derogatory'.

Chino, Chinoy, Chinito. Ayus!

cebu is one place where there is a big chinese population, but has no chinatown. the chinese-cebuanos live harmoniously with the native cebuanos.

tigidig14 · December 16th, 2005, 10:58 AM

^u mean the natives or the koreans

Askal82 · December 17th, 2005, 09:11 AM

Yeah, me too, I felt that the word 'Intsik' sounds offensive. Tsino or Tsinoy sounds better. I'm hearing it more often in the media.
