I'm with your wife on this one.   If I hear my husband saying "Chinaman" I get all salty too.  Let Wiki explain.

Chinaman┬á(/╦êt╩âa╔¬n╔Ö.m╔Ön/) is an┬áethnic slur, a pejorative term referring to a┬áChinese man or person, a┬áMainland Chinese national┬áor, in some cases, a┬áperson native to geographical East Asia┬áor of perceived East Asian race. While the term has no negative connotations in older dictionaries[1][2]┬áand the usage of such compound terms as┬áEnglishman,┬áFrenchman┬áand┬áIrishman[3]┬áare sometimes cited as unobjectionable parallels,[4]┬áthe term is noted as having pejorative overtones by modern dictionaries. Its derogatory connotations evolved from its use in pejorative contexts regarding Chinese people and other Asians[5]┬áas well as its grammatical incorrectness which resembles stereotypical characterizations of Chinese accents in English-speaking associated with discrimination.[6][7][8]┬áWhile usage of the term┬áChinaman┬áis nowadays strongly discouraged by┬áAsian American┬áorganizations,[9][10][11][12]┬áit has also been used as a self-referential archetype by authors and artists of Asian descent.[13]┬áIt may have come from literal translation into English of the Chinese term for "Chinese man/person", õ©¡Õ£ïõ║║ (Zh┼ìnggu├│ r├®n) = "China man/person".
