Definition of chinaperson

1 sense · 1 part of speech · etymology included

noun

  1. (offensive, uncommon)A Chinese person.
    “In a radio interview earlier this week, Don Blankenship, a Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in West Virginia, accused Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of having foreign-policy conflicts of interest, based on McConnell's marriage to Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao. But Blankenship's comments attracted attention not just for what he had to say—intimating that McConnell's wife and her family has some insidious influence on him—but how he said it.”
    “But with "Cocaine Mitch" specifically and his attacks on McConnell generally, he may have stumbled into an effective strategy, of launching both corruption-focused and racist attacks at the unpopular majority leader and his family.”
    “It's not hard to understand why the Republican establishment might be uncomfortable with Blankenship as a candidate. His team has run several controversial TV ads, including one that referred to the family of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and his wife, Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, as "Chinapersons." Later, Blanksenhip defended the ad by saying it wasn't racist because he never mentioned any of the races, which according to him, are "Negro, White Caucasian, Hispanic, Asian."”
