The other meaning died out once white people realized there was a difference between people from American and people from China in like the later 1800s. Basically it's an even less pc way to call someone mentally challenged. | ||

Basically it's an even less pc way to call someone mentally challenged. Honestly when it comes to the Dota community I feel like a good chunk of the player-base has no idea what it means. It's just such a common Dota insult at this point that I'm positive a lot of players just randomly throw it out because they've seen others say it. | ||

im not trying to go on a crusade in defense of a word people find offensive, but pretty much every synonym for "stupid" had some really negative connotations in the past... the racial stuff is a lot more objectionable i think | ||
