    No because Chinese isn’t a race its a nationality. If you used one of the races there like Han The predominate race there. than yes it would be racist. The Han are in fact often refereed to has the real Chinese. But china is made up of many races not just the one.

      Okay bud Chinese 99.999999999% of the time refers to Han. If you ask a Chinese person they will say 中国人, Chinese. Yes Han is the proper nomenclature but no Chinese person would make this argument.

        I guess that would depend on whether you think of the country or a race when you think china. I think of the country and not the race. bud.
