Brah, calm the fuck down. It's just a word. It's not going to rape your parents and steal your coffee maker. The only reason certain words are offensive is because people make them offensive. The word "faggot" used to be a term for someone who gathers fire wood. It was never used as a derogatory word, until somebody decided to make it that way. Basically, is you, and all other Asians, would stop BAWWWing over the words "chink" and "gook", then guess what? People would stop using the word.

All I'm seeing here in this thread.

" I'M ASIAN BAWWWW THEY USED THE WORD CHINK "

Funny how Eddy overreacts. I bet he'll grow up to be the Jesse Jackson of asians.

28 points, 14 assists for the asian sensaision against the Mavs last night. Top two players were asian(Lin) and white(Nowitzki).

Blacks are slipping.

I looked at The-WalrusZ (Zipperfish) and did not see any new Flash submissions since 2008. Does he still come here?

I am asking this because of the You Are A Fucking Moron series. I feel the time for the next YAAFM is right.

its a lot better then saying something like, That ball would still be in his possession if he where not so niqqardly...

Can't really compare limey with racial terms like chink, gook and the n one.
English people as far as I understand, don't face constant discrimination over there, we aren't beaten up or killed due to being English. Limey although being annoying has nothing like the rich history of prejudice that chink has.

And this is one reason for not liking the world as it currently is. Why is it unacceptable for your average white guy to joke about another race or be proud of their own, yet it seems perfectly fine for other races to mock white folk and have pride in their race.

People these days are just overly sensitive. You can't make a joke without someone taking offence. Apparently you can't use old sayings any more either without offending someone. It's ridiculous. There will come a time when you're not allowed so speak to anyone because no matter what you say, they'll be offended.

Political correctness is fucking sad.

Yeah but words like cracker and limey simply don't carry the same weight as words like n*****. We haven't had centuries of institutionalised discrimination against whites, whites are still on top at basically every point.

PC has done great things for my country, it's a shame it's become a dirty word. There are very few real cases of "PC gone mad" as far as I can see. If you look into them they seem to be blown out of proportion by the very right wing to stir up racial tension or isolated cases sensationalised by the tabloids to shift units.
Wintervale replacing Christmas? Never happened, it was never even suggested. Tabloid lies. I've been told they're making it illegal to say blackboard for the past 15 years, again that's tabloid rubbish. As well as changing baa baa blacksheep.

I don't see the big problem. Like some people have already said, "A chink in the armor" is an actual phrase.
When someone gets asshurt over it and makes a big deal out of it, then it becomes a problem.

Just like the situation with Derpy Hooves <3 <3

This depends on your definition of "PC gone mad". In my opinion, this instance is PC gone mad. The fact that someone writes a headline which, lets face it, was likely an oversight, and then there's massive uproar, the headline is changed and the company sends out a formal apology is a bit ridiculous. I can understand the point of political correctness, but really it needs to be there as a form of guide, not strict rules.

Another example of PC gone mad, which, by the way, happens a fair deal over here, is something that happened to my brother a while ago. He tried to buy a gingerbread man from a shop. They wouldn't sell it to him because he referred to it as a gingerbread man and not a gingerbread person.

If PC continues the way it's going, it serves to undermine the entire premise of free speech. Of course, I'm not arguing for racism, far from it. Racism is absolutely disgusting, but honestly, I don't think it helps much to constantly tell people that certain words are taboo (I'm not talking about words like n***** here, but words like black), causing people to jump into outrage the moment anyone so much as thinks them. People just need to chill out a bit.

For crying out loud, it's a word. Big whoop, get your pants back on and keep on truckin'.

Lmao, "Chink in the armour" that was a bad pun for ESPN to use but a creatively placed one.

Right, we get that. What we're saying is that it was most likely an unintentional play on words, because nobody is dumb enough to think that intentionally making a racially offensive pun in a headline is a good idea.

The phrase "Chink in the armour" is used fairly regularly in sports coverage. Apparently they applied it to this case before realizing exactly what the fuck they were doing.

I would've kept it like that because I'm a douche like that.

Who cares if he says chink? Who cares if he says the n-word? If someone said "cracker" on TV not a single fuck would be given by me? Why do you care if someone you don't even know uses a racial slur about you?

People need to get the sand out of their vaginas. I think the title was fine, as long as they clarified they meant no offensive context.

It's a real phrase, and in any other situation it would have been okay, but unfortunately it was just used in the wrong place at the wrong time. People need to stop getting so butt-hurt over stupid shit like this.

couldn't help but laugh

sorry chinks

OH FUCK NO! A RACIST COMMENT! Wait you apologized for it? HOW DARE YOU DO SUCH A THING!
