  • 中国佬约翰（英語：John Chinaman）是美国19世纪的讽刺漫画里对中国工人具有歧视意味的形象。这一形象流传甚广，甚至连马克·吐温的作品以及当时很多流行歌曲中都出现了中国佬约翰的形象。在漫画里，这是一个头戴斗笠，留着辫子的黄种人形象。 美国政治漫画家经常在作品中使用中国佬约翰的形象，甚至他还创作了一个名为“孔夫子约翰”的变体，用来代表中国的政治人物。 (zh)

  • John Chinaman was a stock caricature of a Chinese laborer seen in cartoons of the 19th century. Also referenced by Mark Twain and popular American songs of the period, John Chinaman represented, in western society, a typical persona of China. He was typically depicted with a long queue and wearing a coolie hat. American political cartoonist Thomas Nast, who often depicted John Chinaman, created a variant, John Confucius, to represent Chinese political figures. In Nast's cartoon "A Matter of Taste", published March 15, 1879 (seen at right), John Confucius expresses disapproval of Senator James G. Blaine for his support of the Chinese Exclusion Act. Blaine is shown dining in "Kearney's Senatorial Restaurant"—a reference to Denis Kearney, the leader of a violent anti-Chinese movement in California. John Confucius asks, "How can Christians stomach such diet?" According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the term first emerged with British sailors who, uninterested in learning how to pronounce the names of the Chinese stewards, firemen, and sailors who worked as part of their crews, came up with the generic nickname of "John".
