reminder that chink is a slur. it doesn’t matter if you knew or not, if you say chink or chinky you’re using a slur that was and is still used to dehumanize asians. do better.
all these celebrities like rico nasty and cardi b saying they didn’t know it a was slur, that’s not an apology and you can’t use the word in your “apology.” you need to recognize it’s a slur and do better.
also if you’re not asian, you do not get to say chink is not a slur. if you’re not asian, you do not get to accept the apology. it’s not yours to accept. if you are asian and you think it’s okay for non asians to say chink, you don’t speak for all asians.
