Never mind that, I learned recently that you can't call a Chinese takeout a "chinky" anymore. So what is to become of chinky Tuesday?

Solely and specifically to trigger your autistic obsession. Looks like it worked!

it was never derogatory, except perhaps if someone uses the term like how a guy who hates Jews using the word Jews

Calling someone an Oriental is literally exactly like calling someone a Northerner. "The Orient" is a term that variably can refer to the 'Near East' or 'Far East'. If it's derogatory then so is referring to people from the 'Western World' as Westerners, but nobody seems to have a problem with that

That’s like arguing that the word nigger is from the Latin negra meaning black.

Glossy/shiny black in Latin is niger. Dull/charred black is ater.
