Yes, "chink" is derogatory for Chinese.

To be racist is not because you call someone a "name".
Now, if you said "I hate you fucking chinks" that would be different than "your eyes look chinky".

I see your point. But implied in the use of a derogatory name is hatred. That's what makes it derogatory - "expressing a low opinion." Even if the user of such a name does not feel that hatred, those terms have come to represent hate and racism.
So is every person who calls someone a "chink" or a "nigger" necessarily racist? No, not every person. But a racially sensitive and rational person probably wouldn't use such language.
