I didn't know that. I thought Asian Peruvians were recognized as being equally Peruvian to everyone else.

They are. Chino is a nickname for people who has chinky eyes. I have a good friend who's mestizo (0% asian) and he's called 'El Chino' cause he has chinky eyes. My mom and dad both had chinky eyes and they were called 'la china' and 'el chino' respectively.
