We need to nip these things in the bud. At least that’s the slant I take.

Let’s follow the logic.

Putting aside the fact that he used the word chink, not the term in the racist slur context, we accept that it is unacceptable to use it.

Darling himself is Chinese.

Therefore the common belief that blacks are allowed to use the N word is no longer valid.

Ridiculous! A FReeper replied, “I hope Ron darling is not niggardly in his response.”

At least he didn’t go “John McCain” and call him a “Gook”.

Well, that turned into a real Chinese Fire Drill, didn’t it.

And I guess references to the HMS Hood sinking will have to be torn from the history books.

Dem-tards are gradually whittling down our lexicon.

They keep adding to the list of proscribed words and altering the meaning of those that are left.

“Alright, we’ll give some land to the n___s and the chinks,” he says. “But we don’t want the Irish!”.

“Chink in the armor” is an old one. When I was in graduate school many, many years ago (almost three decades ago, actually), a Hewlett Packard executive was giving a talk and talked about an Asian competitor having a “chink in its armor.” Several class members went crazy at the time and demanded an apology. Back then, he didn’t apologize and it just blew over. Today, it most definitely wouldn’t blow over. Of course, “chink” is as much of a racial putdown as “niggardly” is — just in the minds of the perpetually oppressed.

The guy is an idiot to apologize.
Why do people accept an idiotic premise and then actually go on to apologize for the ignorant premise?
I don’t get it.

“Mets legend Ron Darling is under fire for using the term “chink in the armor,” in reference to Yankees pitcher Masahiro Tanaka..”

If instead of “chink in the armor” he said..’zips in the wire’ he wouldn’t be getting all the grieve./sarc

I seem to remember that Darling has Chinese ancestry himself. A pity he’s giving in to the PC mob, but I guess he has a job to protect.

Chink in the armor is a place of vulnerability. Armor is metal. A chink is a place of no or thin coverage, or armor that is not properly connected. It has nothing whatsoever to do with Chinese people.

This comes from the same damnfools who don't understand the meaning and origin of niggardly, which has nothing to do with African-Americans.
