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."Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi
"I have nothing against Wilson, but he's nowhere near the same calibre of QB as Flutie. Flutie threw for 5k+ yards in the CFL." -Ben Kenobi

Nonsense. I say that to my Chinese friends all the time. "Yo, my chinks, what's up?"“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect. I will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.”
"Capitalism ho!"

By the Chink! How appropriate!Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

FWIW, the guy who did the headline (who was fired) was Max Bretos.... who has an East Asian wife.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
- John 13:34-35 (NRSV)

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.

Of course the white guy who married an east asian is racist and wishes to subjugate the orient.Originally posted by Imran Siddiqui View PostFWIW, the guy who did the headline (who was fired) was Max Bretos.... who has an East Asian wife."I hope I get to punch you in the face one day" - MRT144, Imran Siddiqui
