I may be a "chink" but I'm not FUCKING DEAF

The BBQ Pit
1

So I was walking my dog at night. A cute little MinPin. Now we’re heading home around the block and I begin to get near a little parkette. I see that there are kids out in the parkette being little kids. Mind you it’s quite late, about 11PM and I wouldn’t be surprised if the kids are a little be rowdy. But here’s where the story gets juicy.

They were obviously playing. One kid blocks the gate after two kids on their bikes leave. There are two still in the parkette and trying to get out, but can’t… So in their futility ask me, a passerby, to help, in a mock way of their playing…

I get about 5feet from them, ignoring them and their playing and I hear it.

“Yea walk away you chink”

Now, I am quite a hot-head in real-life and remarks like this get my blood boiling to a death rage.

So I yell at him, dragging my dog with me to the gate.

“So I’m a chink?” I reply.

“no, no, no…” kid (about age 12 retorts)

now, I slam the gate door open, whacking the little fuck on the chest and face… With him reeling aback scared shitless because he knew I wasn’t gonna be fucked around with racist shit. I continue to confront the little fuck. I wanted to get face-to-face with this shit, like how umpires and coaches do it in baseball. He was too scared and kept reeling back. Bam, he trips on a huge rock that is part of the landscaping job in the parkette. On his ass he says,

“no, no, no… I never said chink, I said chump to my friend” pointing to the guy holding the gate closed.

“little shits like you need to fuck off”, I replied.

with my voice now raised to almost a yell, I cursed at him on and on, scaring this poor little shit that I wouldn’t be surprised if he pissed his pants. He keeps on denying the fact that his racist remark ever came out of him. Then says that his best friend is Chinese. Now with his chump not chink and his chinese best friend remark, he thought I would just let him go easy.

I said apologize for the remark, he keeps on saying that he never said it and apologizes anyway. He can’t even admit that he said it now, since I was being very intimidating…

Now, his older sister or girlfriend that left earlier, came back, acting like a fucking twat. Telling me to calm down and not waste my time on her friend/brother. Now I get into her face like the ump coaches do it and yell at her for not even knowing what the fuck went on. She says if her friend/brother says he didn’t say chink then he didn’t… what nice easy world she lives in, take the word of anyone.

so the cursing goes on for about another 5minutes and I tell them to get the fuck out of here. They begin to leave, mumbling shit that they have chinese friends and that they didn’t say anything. All the while I follow them to the apartment complex they live at…

I ended up having a long walk for my dog, scared some little shits for being racists and couldn’t get over where this little shit got the balls to say chink to me and then lose his balls once I caught him at his racism.

I need to calm down, I need to relax, I’m too much of a hot-head… next time I’ll let racism live on and keep my voice down and brush it off or I might end up in prison for busting up a racist’s face.

What the hell is a chink?

3

Derogatory word for an Asian person, particularly Chinese, IIRC.

So what’s the point here? You looking for validation? Good on ya for terrorizing children for racist remarks?

Seems to me that everyone in your story was an asshole, including you. But you were the adult, the one who should have known better, should be setting the example.

Good job, you taught those kids that the bigger, stronger ape is always right.

5

You should have just shrugged it off. I remember once a local kid calling me a stupid nigger. Which is kinda funny because I am a six foot four blond-haired blue-eyed little Hitler youth.

The kid was probably just a little twit who learned some new naughty word and anted to try it out to shock someone. And it looks like he succeded.

Obligatory Margaret Cho quote:

“So, my friend and I were walking down the street, and this guy yells at us, ‘Fucking Chinos ruin everything!’ And we were confused, because we didn’t know if he meant us, or the pants. I mean, he could be either really racist, or really fashion conscious.”

7

Oh, yeah. He’s the bad guy.

He might have gone a little overboard, but it isn’t as if there wasn’t cause.

8

I have to wonder, Madawc, absent anything else … is this kid going to refrain from saying “chink” because he understands that insulting someone’s nationality is offensive, or is he going to avoid saying it merely when you’re around because he doesn’t want to get in that situation again?

9

Not trying to be validated, just letting off some steam… I know I was an ape, I need to calm the fuck down on this sort of shit…

10

Yeah, right. Tell that to the judge.

“Mr. madawc, can you explain to the court why you, an adult person, physically assaulted this twelve year old child?”

“Well, your honor, he called me a bad name.”

That’ll work.

11

It is good that you were not seeking validation, because if past threads are any indication, I would be substantially surprised if you received more than you have seen of yet.

Good that you’re able to see that now.

12

I should make a some kind of kung fu reference here, but would it be appropriate? And wouldn’t the joy it gives me be worth it?

13

Or you might get an ass-beating if your target has a big, mean older brother around the corner.

14

The rules regarding appropriateness of comment are, sometimes, slightly suspended in the Pit, for the sake of humor/flaming/etc. YMMV, of course.

15

the gate smacking the little fuck on the chest and face wasn’t intentional… he was near the gate, but with my blind rage, couldn’t estimate how far the thing would open, i just kicked it open and hit him smack on the chest and face…

I’m a rage-aholic and need rage-ahol i guess.

his age isn’t really a known, but I would guess quite young maybe a tweener, but could be a late blooming teen. I don’t know many 12yr olds out that late.

16

I’m pretty sure I can take down a mean older and bigger brother. I’m not a monster but I’ll save Eternal the kung-fu remark and say I know TaeKwonDo to an extent that my self-defense isn’t sub-par.

17

That’s what I call REAL Ultimate Power!!!

He says he knows TaeKwonDo. Fancy kicking is a far cry from popping a twenty-foot boner and wailing on a guitar while porking ten babes at once.

19

I guess the kid will think twice about* sharing *his racist views with anonymous passers-by. But I doubt he’d rethink those views.

I’m with Spooje. You most likely either created a new racist or reinforced their racist views. Not to excuse the kids, but what breaks racial stereotypes is when you come across as an undeniably decent human being whereas before they thought you were not.
