> If you are comfortable to stand in front of a group of Chinese and explain to them what "Chinese Whispers" is and think you can convince them there is no prejudice in it. Then I'll stand corrected. I would certainly be willing to do that, and the Chinese group in turn could mention some of their local analogues (because expressions depicting a foreign nation as unintelligible are found all over the world) that they don’t see as a problem – Chinese speakers are generally less concerned about ethnic sensitivities than the English-speaking world. There is little prejudice in many of these expressions today. Certainly there may have been prejudice when the term was first coined, but the expressions then became lexicalized and speakers are not even consciously aware of them. To claim that they represent prejudice today is to fall into the etymological fallacy.
