Chink

Chink is a derogatory ethnic slur for someone of Chinese descent, now used as an epithet against East Asians. Chink may also mean a small crevice or opening, often referring to a weakness, such as a "chink in the armor." The latter term is uncontroversial, since it predates the ethnic slur, though the slur may have origins from the original meaning. However the usage of the ethnic slur has sparked contemporary controversies in public and popular media.
