Travel Tips

he is called "EL CHINO" because he is from japan and thats how we called asian people. Chinese in spanish is CHINO. It doesn't matter if you are from japan or chinese, oriental people here in Peru all are called CHINOS.maybe becoz he is from japan
Exactly why. Any Asian is called Cino (or Chino) and that's his nickname too.
The right spelling is Chino...it comes from chinese(a China national)..a generalized word used in Peru to refer about any Asian people, no matter if they are from Japan, China, Korea, etc.
