    But chink is an actual ethnic slur. And let's get real, if you read ESPN.com, you notice that they are always trying to work puns and other silliness into their headlines (go to ESPN now and you'll see an article about the Detroit Red Wings' winning streak called "An order of the hot wings", a headline about hockey penalties is "Fines and Dandy", an article about the Big Ten is "B1G Bang Theory", etc. and usually ESPN.com is more pun-orific). The guy who wrote that headline definitely was aware of chink as a slur because if he wasn't, he would not have used it.

        I'm eagerly awaiting the first successful Vietnamese NBA player, with the resulting ESPN headline "Gooks Are Playing Basketball: We Aren't Even Trying To Be Clever Anymore"

            Is it wrong that I thought it was funny?

              It was both funny and totally racist.

                Nonsense. I say that to my Chinese friends all the time. "Yo, my chinks, what's up?"

                        FWIW, the guy who did the headline (who was fired) was Max Bretos.... who has an East Asian wife.

                          But is she Chinese? Because if she's Korean or Japanese or pretty much any nationality other than Chinese then that may increase the likelihood that he intended to make a racist joke.

                          "Hey honey, you know how you hate the Chinese? Well guess what I did!!!"

                              Of course the white guy who married an east asian is racist and wishes to subjugate the orient.
