Ching chong

Cover of the sheet music for 1917 song "Ching Chong" by Lee S. Roberts and J. Will Callahan

Ching chong, ching chang, ching chang chong, and chung ching are offensive phrases used to mock or imitate the Chinese language, people of Chinese ancestry, or other people of East Asian descent perceived to be Chinese. The term is a derogatory imitation of Mandarin and Cantonese phonology. The phrases have sometimes accompanied assaults or physical intimidation of East Asians, as have other racial slurs or imitation of Chinese.
