          A term of endearment towards a person of any race, creed, nationality or sexual orientation. Historically used with negative connotations towards the inhabitants of the Middle Kingdom as a result of the follies of a corrupt, insular and self-righteous Qing Dynasty (thus a Qink/Chink referred to a person who was both ignorant yet arrogant). Yet, as the 20th c. unfolded, the rise and resurrection of the people of the same general geographic area is one which is both unmistakable and undeniable. At the core of the word Chink/chink, is a timeless story woven into the very fabric of what it means to be a human: multifaceted, fascinating and fallible all in one.
