Chinaman

Several cricketers came up to them and asked Pradeep about his effortless action mimicry and his promising chinaman bowling.

A disorderly Chinaman is rare, and a lazy one does not exist. So long as a Chinaman has strength to use his hands he needs no support from anybody; white men often complain of want of work, but a Chinaman offers no such complaint; he always manages to find something to do.[…]Any white man can swear a Chinaman’s life away in the courts, but no Chinaman can testify against a white man.

Another favorite pastime of the Highbinder who is usually a loafer, is to levy blackmail on a wealthy Chinaman.[…]If it were not that the Chinamen kill only men of their own race and let alone all other men, the citizens of San Francisco would have sacked and burned Chinatown.

On the flat behind the mill, dawn-rising Chinamen shogged with nimble bare feet under their yoke-linked watering-cans.

And when found he is washing.

America it's them bad Russians. Them Russians them Russians and them Chinamen. And them Russians.

Diner Employee: How long you been standing there, you freak? Diner Customer: What are you, a Chinaman? Xavier (Vernon Chatman): I wish I knew myself. Diner Employee: We don't cotton to strange Chinamen with no sense of self who stand secretly by for indeterminate amounts of time. Gonna put you in a world of hurt.

Chinaman half in and half out of the door. Codeine and goof balls, and complete discouragement.
