I (white guy) had the nickname "Chin Ho" back in school. Chin Ho was a Chinese character on the original Hawaii 5-0 TV series, but I was called that because I had a massive underbite (when I closed my jaws together there was about a half-inch gap between my lower and upper front teeth). I couldn't even be mad at the nick.
