I’ve worked with Philippinos who have made that gesture about each other, saying that another person also from the Philippines had (their word) “chinky” eyes. I had never heard that term before. It is from Asians that I learned the term Driving While Asian, a self deprecating term said with laughter.

I have no opinion on whether a baseball player should be punished for that conduct, which may well be justified. I think it is smart to penalize him away from affecting the World Series. I’ll agree with that.

A friend was asked the following riddle by a Korean businessman. (Pronounce each word phonetically:)

Q: "How do you brind [blind] a Asian woo-man?"

A: "Poot a wind-shee-ud in funt of huh!"

(Uproarious laughter.)

I have an opinion.

A lesson in sportsmanship and courtesy in the form of a 98 mph fastball up against his rib cage in his next at bat would do him wonders.

So spake Politeness Man.
