Chinese man is the equivalent of English man. Chinaman is the equivalent of Paddy, Mick, Frog, etc etc

Hope this helps.
Is Yank racist? Australians call the English Poms. It's meant to be insulting, or used to be, but it's not racist.
It's hardly ever used as it's now Brits, which includes the rest of Britain.

Anyway, I would refer to someone from China as Chinese singular, not Chinaman. The word just doesn't sound racist to me.

What about a left arm wrist spinner in cricket?
 
I'm asking if Chinaman is racist why not Englishman. What's the difference?
English man is equivalent of Chinese man.

Englandman would therefore be the equivalent of Chinaman. I have never heard of the former not indeed Irelandman, Franceman, Germanyman etc

I've been to the Isle of Man 😄
