Who said chink

I was shocked that they had a word for it. This happened two years ago, and I was made fun of in Maryland until I moved to Washington state.

When I moved to Seattle, there were more Asians and I felt more comfortable, more accepted. When I moved here, I hoped that no one would make fun of my eyes and call me chinky. It went well for a while, but things changed when I reached middle school. That was when I realized that the word chink is similar to [the n-word]. They are both racial slurs, and are both very offensive, but people choose to use them without thinking about the harm that comes with them.

Racial slurs have impacted me. We need to learn to accept each other and not harm each other with words because they can cut emotionally. The ideas here do not necessarily represent our stance.

I looked it up and saw that it was a racial slur. It only made it worse that it was said publicly. I have had many racist things said to me but no one has posted a comment for everyone to see before and it hurt to see that someone would do such a thing. I hope that more people will become aware of how much it can effect others and stop saying things that are based on their ethnicity, gender, religion or their sexual preference etc.

With all the fussyness nowadays, people forget that somethings can and need to be solved personally. Shitty people need to be dealt with right away, in the only way that their thick skull will understand. Crying on Facebook doesnt solve anything. That goes for girls too. I still need to learn and grow to accept that our small eyes are equally as beautiful.

I wish other people could become more open minded and realise this too. And to be honest, my friend has the most big, googly eyes ever and it creeps me out to say the least, hehe. Anyway, thank you for sharing your story because it made me feel like I had someone else who understood what I have been through all these years with the awfal racial slurs.

Billie Eilish receives backlash for 'I love girls' post; gets accused of 'queerbaiting'. Billie Eilish's 'I love girls' caption makes fans curious, check out reactions.

Will Billie Eilish be performing at the Billboard Awards ? There is a precedent for dealing with offensive-sounding words. This is not an argument against free speech. Each American can speak freely as part of the first Amendment of the U. The time has come for all of us to reassess our vocabulary usage to prevent individuals from experiencing continued bigotry and racism in American society.
