Yo, Is This Racist?

Yo, ask me if something is racist and I'll tell you. If it's absolutely necessary for you to know, I'm not white.

swagler (and 1.5 million more of you) asked: Looks like ESPN just picked the most racist headline they could come up with. Damn. You dummies can argue (and have) all you want that the phrase “chink in the armor” doesn’t have a racist etymology, I still think only racists use this shit, not least because it’s such an unnecessarily long way to say “weakness.” PS. Seriously, thanks to everyone who sent this in. Please stop.
