I have ignored it while walking past people, thinking they were na\u00c3\u00afve when they have called me \u201cchinky\u201d right to my face. But now, with Nido Tania, the 19-year-old student from Arunachal Pradesh, being beaten to death in the capital, the thought kept nagging me\u2013 was I right in ignoring the name-calling or should I have given it back to them?<\/p>\n<p>However, how many people will I fight and in how many places? Whether it is the bylanes of the place I live in (Lajpat Nagar, the residential-cum-commercial area in south Delhi where this incident happened) or the market places that I visit? There is no end to these names being hurled at you. For people it might be just a word to laugh about but for us (the female community from northeast particularly) it is a \u201cracial slur\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>According to the dictionary, \u201cchinky\u201d is an English ethnic word describing a person of Chinese ethnicity, but for people here it has become a word to describe girls from the northeast with amusing connotations like \u201cchilli chicken\u201d and \u201cchowmein\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Not just boys, who are much younger than you but seemingly well educated, well dressed men pass these remarks. Once, on my way back home from the office, a man probably my dad\u2019s age came close and said \u201cChinky is so sexy\u201d. Left startled I could barely react, my eyes welled (due to anger) but I could only just walk away helplessly.<\/p>\n<p>Is it our fault that our ancestors belonged to a certain race and had certain facial features? Why are we being branded this way?<\/p>\n<p>Feeling helpless like I was, a friend from Arunachal Pradesh narrated an incident from a busy market place. It was immediately after Nido Tania\u2019s news, that she was teased and young boys called her \u201cChinese\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>If young boys, from seemingly well off families, make such remarks who is to be blamed? People in the heartland of the country should know we also hold the same citizenship and we also feel the same thrill when we hear our national anthem.<\/p>\n<p>Having different facial features (from people in the heartland), speaking in a different way and our region being a little disconnected due to lack of communication, has saddled us with a label that we find hard to live down.<\/p>\n<p>We accept we like to follow fashion and are genetically built differently, so what is wrong in that? Why are we stereotyped? The gaze and the comments being made because of our dress is something I have failed to understand. Is it out of jealousy or do we look like aliens?<\/p>\n<p>However this apathy is not restricted to streets or public places but even on the professional front. Many have had to lose out even after having competitive talent and capability. A friend shared with me that a leading apparel brand that she knows rejected a strong contender for a fashion shoot only because she had different facial features. Off the record she was told she was \u201cchinky\u201d, hence not suitable for the assignment.<\/p>\n<p>(Source: IANS)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Four years in the national capital, apart from all other things I have developed immunity against the word \u201cchinky\u201d though I consider it extremely offensive and derogatory.
