Chink of the Day

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)

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!

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.

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.

When I first saw the thread I thought it was about a movie in the same style as "Shaolin Soccer".
Besides, if he's from Taiwan, then that Shaolin thing is even more provocative because of the high tensioned political relations between those two countries.
It shows a lot of ignorance and follows the common stereotype that all Asians look the same or are all the same thing.It's only good basketball, in this case from an American with Taiwanese roots.

Hard to say it was intentional. Probably just a dumb mistake.

Chink In The Armor?
So obvious it was done intentionally to get attention.
What sort of shitty headline is that? What does Lin or the Knicks have to do with armor?
Fuck you ESPN.

Black = color
Jew = Somebody that follows Judaism, religion
Jewish = Jew likePeople from Isrrael speak a bit frrench like and say "r" instead of "h"
Not all...But some i know say: "Rallo" insteaf of "Hallo"

What uuuuuu said above
It's definitely racist and although I can't get that worked up about it, it's annoying that the bar for offensiveness/racial stereotyping is so much higher for Asians than it is for instance blacks or Jews
