English is weird

Kugai:
With Fiva Beans and a nice Chianti?

Pilchard123:
But it could also be said the same as you might say "Some idiot pulled out in front of me on the way to work" or "I wonder if I can find some mug to buy this bridge". "I'm eating some Italian" might mean "I am eating an unspecified and unknown Italian person".

Papersatan:
I tend to agree about the use of "chinese" as a demonym.  I have never said "a Chinese" always "a Chinese person"  I just wasn't sure if it was regional.  I don't really have a demonym for China...  "Chinaman" is the only one I've heard, and I'm sure not comfortable using that.

Method of Madness:
There's no single word demonym, just "Chinese person".

Is it cold in here?:
