If it did, then they would have just used "American."

Even so, I doubt an English language newspaper would still use "negro" to describe a black person, even if no slur was intended or transmitted.

Or can you imagine if they just used "Jew man" to mean a "Jewish man?"

Is it really that hard to use Chinese man?

It's really sad that so many HN users would downvote comments like this. It just goes to show that insulting Asians really isn't taken seriously.

Thank you for bringing it up. I also don't understand why some people get so offended when they are told that certain words can cause harm to others.

I always try to be respectful and if someone tells me that a word or a name hurts them, then I just won't use it around them.

Englandman. Irelandman. Chineseman.

No, that hero would be called Englandman.
