What you or I or anyone might find offensive has nothing to do with what others do. How about we all just treat each other civilly? That’s part of being "civilized" as opposed to the alternative.

 

civil

[ˈsiv(ə)l]

ADJECTIVE

  1. relating to ordinary citizens and their concerns, as distinct from military or ecclesiastical matters.

    "civil aviation"

    synonyms:

    secular · nonreligious · lay · laic · laical · nonmilitary · civilian

  2. courteous and polite.

    "we tried to be civil to him"

    synonyms:

    polite · courteous · well mannered · well bred · gentlemanly ·

    [more]

Political correctness and civil behavior towards others are two different things.  Hopefully people do not use political correctness as an excuse to not be civil.

Chi-fi is used as a derogatory term and should not be part of civil discourse. It is insulting to anyone of Chinese heritage, which includes mostly good and many very talented people. It’s that simple. Do not use this word unless that is your intent.

Couldn't agree more. Never heard anyone use the term French-Fi, Pol-Fi, Ger-Fi, Ital-Fi, etc. Just because it's considered common usage in some circles doesn't make it acceptable.
