ESPN Appologizes for headline "Chink in the Armor" - Jeremy Lin

Oh the Linsanity!

Headline was up for 35 agonizing, racially tense minutes.

you want some flies wit dat ?:Oh crap

OK! You want saw finger on de flies?

So back when I was a teen I used to work for an airport shuttle company. And you'd get addresses that didn't match up with street numbers...

2468 carriage rain.

After looking at it for a while I'd realize the mistake. Asian customer mispronounced:

2468 college lane

And the minimum wage (pick a race) rep wrote down what they thought they heard.

This was when cell phones were just becoming popular and I'd get a call at least every other day with a request to decipher that shit.

:1orglaugh

After I leave porn I'm going to work in a call center deciphering Asian languages. That would be a barrel of laughs, all day long.

that's kinda funny :)

ADG

racism they paying the asian guy less than the blacks!!!

True that Fletch!

This guy can ball.

aaahhhh soooo wuts dis winsawinty for jewemey rin , ha, yeso?

wekom to shittY wok! how u rike yo shitty fry rice!

Hmmm.sounds french canadian. Take the rocks out of your mouth.

would the headline "Rice burner turned down to simmer as Nets stop the Knicks" cause a stir?

"yellow fever sweeps over NY as Lin scores 38 against Lakers"

"Lin leads Knicks on Long March to victory! "

"Lin stops the Lakers as if they were Tibetan Monks"

isn't chink in the armor a phrase to denote an exploitable flaw in an otherwise perfectly great defence.

seriously why would you immediately jump to the rasist context.

It is called "double standard"

White man gets fired on the spot, while a proud African warrior goes unpunished for saying Lin going to give some lucky NYC lady "2 inches of pain".

'Teacher Of The Year' Suspended For Offensive Comment, Telling Hispanic Student To 'Go Back To Mexico'

http://www.myfoxdfw.com/dpp/news/edu...comment-021612

"Bunn made the comment on Sept. 30 while distributing Title 1 forms to her eighth grade students at Barnett Junior High School. Dallas-Fort Worth's Fox 4 reports that a disruptive student requested a Spanish-language version of the form, saying, "I'm Mexican. I'm Mexican."

According to public record, Bunn attempted to tell the student that he could retrieve forms translated into Spanish from the main office, but the student continued to repeat "I'm Mexican."

Bunn quickly responded, "[Then] go back to Mexico."
