Another use of the word chink, this time on the front page of the BBC News website!

Quote per Collins English dictionary.

Chink - Cleft or Crack

Chink - Light ringing sound; Make this sound

Being too defensive does us no favours.

Using 'chink' to undermine all things Chinese, describes and judges the 'User' more than the 'peoples' he/she intends to hurt.

Learn the 'Tai Chi of Life'. Let the 'aggressor' reaps the the 'fruits of their aggression'.

When I saw the title of this thread I was shocked and assumed it would be a tirade against some article somewhere..but no, it's a programme produced by Chinese people! Can't you think of a snappy alternative - ironic or not, it really sounds insulting...
