I say it to be silly.
It really depends on how it's used, obviously.
If a friend comes up to me and goes "hey china man" its ok.
If some schmoe walks up to me and says "y0 chinaman", I borrow a page from chuckie's taekwando book. :exnbp:
Funny thing is, when I spoke to Daniel on the phone once, I reffered to Chanc as "Chank", Daniel didn't correct me :eek3:

There are definitely parts of the world (mixed-race cultures in the far east) where it is a racial pejorative.
I don't see any point in taking the risk, and I would avoid using it.
