This does bring up something interesting for me, since I'm chinese and have some korean friends. I guess in your post of the above dialog, scotty is using chinks to imply koreans. To me, chinks applies to chinese. I had a conversation some years ago with my korean friends about ethnic slurs and they would always laugh about being called chinks since it didn't apply to them. Also during that conversation I came to realize there wasn't really an ethnic slur that only applied to koreans. |
