Chinese man不是,Chinaman是
Origin:
The word "Chinaman" first appeared in mid-19th Century, commonly used by Central Pacific Railroad workers as a neutral or non-racist term to identify Chinese descent workers.
Due to their strong ethical culture, Chinese workers were extremely well-behaved, skilled and highly efficient, it was not long until a gradual massive layoffs of European and black workers from 1859 to 1868. Also during this time, Chinese railroad workers' wages has also risen higher than other workers' ($35-40 compared to $30-35 per month). By the end of 1868, Chinese workers became the majority of the CPRR workforce.
Anger and hatred were widely spread among those workers who lost job to the Chinese immigrants, the term "Chinaman" has become a racist term over time. And this is the early origin of the term "Chinaman".
“Chinaman”一词最早出现于19世纪中叶,是中太平洋铁路工人常用的中立或非种族主义术语,用以识别中国后裔工人。
由于其深厚的道德文化,中国工人的行为举止极为熟练,熟练和高效,直到1859年至1868年欧洲和黑人工人的大规模裁员才不久。 也比其他工人的收入高(35-40美元,而每月30-35美元)。 到1868年底,中国工人已成为CPRR劳动力的大部分。
愤怒和仇恨在因中国移民而失业的工人中广泛传播,“Chinaman”一词已逐渐成为种族主义。 这就是“Chinaman”一词的起源。
