Do british people still refer to chinese take away

"As going for a chinkys"

I remember hearing people where I lived in Scotland say this
Lol um I think you were just surrounded by racist people because that's not a generally accepted British thing. Same with "paki shop"

"paki shop"

When I was at school in the 90s, some of the kids did call it that. "We're not racist, it's just what we call it."

Now, things have changed

That's more of an older thing. I don't think many people nowadays would say that.

Ah they're too close by to not know about them 😂

I worked with an old English man when I was teaching in Spain years ago, he told me that the older generation used terms like "chinky" a lot.

I’ve heard folks say it here. But luckily, not recently. People seem to be gradually getting a clue. 🙄
