One of the most common slurs against Chinese people is literally just a portmanteau of the words “China” and “man”. The slur wholly depends on people already thinking Chinabad for it to be insulting.
I’m vaguely remembering a study that showed that the US had one of the lowest literacy rates of high wealth nations, which strongly reinforces your point
This assumes the average American can form such a sentence without slurs
