Confucius say, don't piss off Chinese people?

[dsiomtw]

Serious question ...

Do Chinese people find it offensive or in bad taste when people make "Confucius say" jokes or one-liners? You know like:

"Confucius say, Man with hand in pocket feel cocky all day."

I have the perfect opportunity to use one as a joke in some copy, but I don't want to offend any chinks who might otherwise buy shit from me ...

Doubtful, chances are they came up with it.

Agreed.

Split test your copy with one using your Confucius joke, and one calling them chinks.

I hear they like being referred to as the "yellow peril". Why not use ATTENTION YELLOW PERIL: in your headline, with a nice picture of Fu Manchu. I'm sure that will go down well.
