Apologizes for Using ‘Chink in the Armor’ to Describe Yankees Japanese Pitcher

Breitbart ^ | Dylan Gwinn

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

That’s stupid. The guy is Japanese, not Chinese.

I'm surprised the leftists didn't drag BLM in and have them ask for an apology and then the lynching of this mofo honky.

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.

[DoughtyOne]

Exactly!

These people are stark raving nuts.

[Right Wing Assault]

Since when did Nips become Chinks?

"Strike three! Tanaka just nipped the corner with that low and away fast ball to rack up his fourth strike out today."

Man who doesn’t nip this in the bud,

On a slippery slope.

[zeugma]

I think it's the one on the right

[Tucker39]

Come ON!! Idiocy abounds. CHINK in the armor has NOTHING to do with a Japanese person. That’s a slur strictly pertaining to Chinese.

In order to be aimed at a Japanese it would have to be a GOOK in the armor; which would be a pure non-sequeteur.

[awelliott]

So long as the pitcher didn’t resort to guerilla tactics and the umpire wasn’t niggardly with the strike zone, I see no problem with this....

[Charles Martel]

That’s stupid. The guy is Japanese, not Chinese.

Apparently, the apologizer has not the first clue. Perhaps Charlie Chan could help him find one.

[Crucial]

PC oppression

[TBP]

The expression doesn’t actually refer to the Chinese, and Tanaka is Japanese, not Chinese, anyway. (His wife is a pop star in Japan, BTW.)

Not that liberals can tell the difference, or even bother to try. Japanese, Chinese, all the same to liberals.

Three jobs — this gig calling the playoffs, his Mets job, and his job at MLB Network.

Or the difference between “guerilla” and “gorilla.”

I’ve been watching “McHale’s Navy” on youtube.

They’ll say something like “We’ll clobber those Nips!” - and then look at their Jap POW that they have in their group and say “Sorry - present company excepted.”

BTW - whenever I talk about the Japs in WWII I use the term Japs. Of course today the Japanese are great friends - and I use the term Japanese.

[blueplum]

stop apologizing and fight back. “Chink” is a proper Kings English word that has zero to do with Asians.

only a race-baiter would find racism in it.

turn the worm and fight back!
