What does the saying Chinese Japanese dirty knees what are these mean?

Answer 1

This is a children's rhyme from the 1970's, often heard on playgrounds.

Although it has racially mocking and sexual overtones and is likely considered racist and sexist by anyone hearing it today, it wasn't always used in that context- at times it was surely as meaningless to the kids singing it as the "Ring Around the Rosie" song (Bubonic Plague- look it up).

The line was also used in Rob Zombie's movie "Devil's Rejects", very likely solely because it is considered offensive today.

To the superoctobe:

My friend's are saying that all because they hate Japanese and Chinese people. some guy made that up for races children.

Answer 2

Oh, dude, that's just a silly rhyme kids used to say on the playground. It's not really deep or anything, just a playful way to tease someone by mixing up different Asian cultures. Like, if someone says that to you, just roll your eyes and move on. It's not worth getting all worked up about.

Answer 3

This saying is a derogatory and racist phrase that is used to mock people of Asian descent, specifically Chinese and Japanese individuals. The phrase is often accompanied by physical gestures meant to further ridicule and stereotype Asian people. It is important to recognize and reject such harmful stereotypes and language.

Answer 4

Well, isn't that a curious phrase to ponder! It sounds like a playful rhyme that children might say, but it's always important to remember to treat everyone with kindness and respect, no matter where they're from. Let's focus on spreading positivity and understanding in our words and actions, like happy little trees in a beautiful painting.

Answer 5

Sinophobia, like other forms of racism, is often passed down to younger generations as exemplified by the Spanish rhyme "Chino, Chino, Japonés, come caca, no me des" (approximately "Chinese, Chinese, Japanese, eat poop, don't give me that") and the English equivalent, "Chinese, Japanese, dirty knees, look at these" during which the children pull their eyes up and then down (to mock the shape of Asian eyes), touch their knees (to imply that Asians farm all day) and pull the fronts of their shirts out (to satirise the fact that Asian women's chests are perceived to be small).

Answer 6

Nobody, literally nobody washes their knees not even PewDiePie. Ethical.

Wait he's Swedish oops.

It applies to everybody!
