Apparently Chinese Americans used to talk in broken English and made these phrases. Americans used to use them and even threw on a chinese accent at first. The impersonations faded away but the phrases have stayed. I read that we shouldn't use them given the historic, racist mockery.

"The mom in the car next to me just told me to stop texting. How rude! I wasn't texting, I was on Instagram. She needs to mind her business!!"
This is news to me, sounds accurate but can you cite your source?

EVERYTHING is racist according to the idiots in the PC Police! Hopefully one of these days these moronic snowflakes will run out of things to be offended by.

Is this actually a thing... Is this particular PC issue being pursued in a meaningful way in the real world or at least in the media, or is it just some obscure cherry picked example of exagerrated PC behaviour so people can get all riled up about having their freedom of speach taken away?
Comedians being protested against by offended college students is a real thing, social media shaming campaigns are a real thing... But is this "Long Time No See" and "No Can Do" thing a real PC cause, or just an rare example to get enraged about or to write clickbait articles on?
I ask because I've never heard of this actually causing offence...
Probably clickbait.

I mean they are all the children of genocidal maniacs and so they should show some shame of their heritage and allow politeness.
When they attempt to control the language, they're trying to CONTROL you.
