I was the driver in a car with my husband as passenger, and a good friend of his from out of town. Good friend is married to a Chinese girl. Some other driver did something stupid and I blurted out, “Stupid chinky drivers!” A few years later we visited them in England and I wondered why she seemed cold and distant lol.
It's funny because I've had the same thing happen to me before, except replace "girl" with "man", and he was a friend of mine rather than being my friends' husband. Except, in this particular situation, he actually laughed his arse off when I said it. To be fair, he makes self-depreciating comments about how his eyes are squinty and he can't see properly as a result, and other similar Asian stereotype things. Shit's hilarious.
