Chink's is no more offensive than the chop suey joint in Philly Chinatown called, "Wop's." The original owner (from Guanzhou, China) got the nickname because he was fat, greasy, and talked loud while waving his hands around. No big deal really.

It's okay, it's okay! I'm black! :) So, would you need special utensils to eat these, like “n*gger knives?”

It’s okay, it’s okay! I’m black! :)

Well that pretty much describes majority-minority relations in this country, doesn't it? White America doesn't ever consider Minority X unless somebody says something. The word "chink" doesn't exist in a cheesesteak vacuum just because this guy claims the previous owner used it as his nickname. (And come on, giving a white guy that nickname due to the shape of his eyes is racist.) “It’s like bringing to attention something that no one ever bothered to think about until some person opens their mouth.”

This is a chance to stop making it about 'black and white'. People make statements like this about Asians because they know that for the most part, ya'll will stay quiet about it. I don't know if some Asians buy into that 'model minority' tag and want to stay 'the good group' and not cause 'trouble' or what, but I say, DRAW ATTENTION TO IT! Demand respect! As for 'Nigger Steaks' the man wouldn't have been able to get it the name approved, much less open the restaurant. You know why? Because we (Blacks) have made it known that that crap doesn't fly! This man knew what he was doing. Believe you me, he did. Racists know what they're doing and a lot of time will feign ignorance. They know very well, what's derogatory to whom. Please don't buy into that crap. Make.Some.Noise.About.it. Let it be known how you feel. If you don't like it, say something. Cause I guarantee you if you don't, it'll get more and more rampant. People catering to the public should respect the public, not just certain people. Hit the man where it hurts: image and wallet. But IF you don't want to do anything or 'draw attention' and want it to just 'blow over' then, stay quiet when someone disrespects Asians again, 'cause you've taken a stance not to do anything, so don't say anything. And I ask the question, how can one 'embrace' a term that's derogatory to ANOTHER group of people, of which one doesn't belong to????? How does that work? Or did I read that wrong. The man isn't Asian, right???? Asian Americans should definitely speak up about this. This is a chance to stop making it about ‘black and white’.
