FYI the term "Chinese whispers" is generally considered offensive these days. It comes from the same thinking as the term Chinese fire drill, which is based on the premise that The Chinese are such poor communicators and their language is so incomprehensible that chaos or confusion ensues. The game Chinese whispers is now more commonly referred to as Telephone, or Grapevine.

I remember a really offensive song we used to sing when I was little called, "Chinky, Chinky China man" We didn't think anything of it. Times change. The world evolves.

I understand all about racism and would never be purposely offensive. I didn't know Chinese whispers was

I'm not accusing you. As I said, just FYI. That was my point in that I didn't know the song was offensive either.
