I find it laughable so many just let the word chink fly right over your heads. If ESPN somehow tried use a double meaning of 'nigger' in a headline about Tiger Woods he would sue them for hate speech and slander. Plain and simple they wouldn't do it because its out right racist but an asian guy and the word 'chink' is acceptable? There is no comparison between 'chink' and 'shaolin' in nature and intention, its like comparing 'nigger' and 'jazz' or something.

Nahhhh i think it's blowing out of proportion.
none of the Asian(Chinese) I know is really mad about it. Including my self (Chinese/Taiwanese descendent). Sure it's offensive. but it's not really that big of a deal. IMO. Lin even said it him self he is not remotely bothered by it. I give this whole situation a shrug.
oh you guys have no idea how verbally racist Asian's can be behind you back LOL. all for humor, not for bad intention tho.

ya verbal racism doesn't bother me as much as silent racism or business racism. I get more freelance work if I use a western name than my Chinese name. wtf?!
now that's racist!

So uuuuuu, as an azian, how do you feel about Lin using the name "chinkballa" for his blog. Is that a sort of n-word situash, ie, only azians can use the word chink? (but can japanese use the word chink? There seems to be a bit of bad blood between them and the chinese)
