The phrase "Ching Chang Walla" is used in East London. Ching Chang Walla has NO racist intentions whatsoever (some call it Ching Chong Walla). It's what a 'hand game' was called years ago. It may even derive from when there used to be a large Chinese community there - they probably called it that themselves.This is also true of the origins of this word, being derived from both the Yiddish and Romany languages. The original meaning of these three words, basically pays tribute to the Godly people of Cameroon.... Show More
