Monster Mowdown 2, uploaded on 11 Aug 2011, describes it's characters thusly: China man, Black man, Terrorist, Skin Head, White Nerd, Red Neck and Army Man.

'China man' is a term my great grandmonther used to decribe anyone of asian appearance, along with other such gems as '******s' and 'darkies'. She wasn't racist, she was just born in 1896, and that was the way things were. I'd like to think we've moved on in the last 100 or so years, but clearly this game's developer hasn't. It's not clever, or funny, it's just stupid. Not to mention inherently racist, innappropriate and offensive.

Wikipedia has this to say:
"the term Chinaman is noted as offensive by modern dictionaries. Its derogatory connotations evolved from its use in pejorative contexts regarding the Chinese and other Asians... usage of the term Chinaman is nowadays strongly discouraged by Asian American organizations."

Nuff said? Over to you Armor Games.

Oh goodie! The matter was solved. I guess we can put this behind us.
