Chink vs. kink
Chink means a narrow opening. It’s often used in the phrase chink in [one’s] armor, which means a weakness that provides an opening for attack. Another common use is in the phrase chink of light (or sunlight), which appears most often in British writing and is similar in meaning to ray of hope. Kink has a few meanings, including (1) a tight curl in rope or wire, (2) a painful muscle spasm, (3) a flaw in a plan, and (4) an unusual sexual taste or behavior.
The use of chink as a slang term for any group of people should of course be shunned.

ESPN Uses "Chink in the Armor" Line Twice-- Did Linsanity Just Go Racist?
72 comments, 12 called-out + Comment now
Linsanity just jumped the shark with the ESPN mobile website using the
headline a “Chink in the Armor” to refer to the Knick’s loss to the
Hornets. This came on the heels of an ESPN commentator* making the same
comment on-air Friday night.
Time Magazine Picks Jeremy Lin For Cover After Five Games
Kurt Badenhausen
Forbes Staff
Linsanity Is Even Bigger Than That And So Are We.
Roger Groves
Contributor
I’m not a sports writer, so I tried to avoid the whole Linsanity phenomenon
; my sense of it was that five stand-out performances in a long season did
not make a trend, so now that the absurdity of Linsanity has taken a turn
for the racist, I think we should pause for a second and get our bearings.
Was the on-air commentary a poor choice of words? Of course, but if you
watch the video clip (it’s just 8 seconds long), I don’t think the
commentator was trying to make a pun. Judge for yourself:
Now, the headline is a different matter. As anyone who has worked in
digital media knows, the headline is what draws attention and hits. Editors
and writers try to maximize visitors and shock value with their headlines (
check out mine, it got you here didn’t it?). Unlike an on-air comment,
most writers and editors obsess over the headline even after they click the
publish button. So my sense of things is that whoever posted the headline
thought about it, giggled, and clicked publish. In fairness to the writer/
editor, the term “chink in the armor” has been used over 3,000 times on
ESPN.com, but just because it is a frequently used term doesn’t absolve the
writers and editors of responsibility to use common sense. But, the
problem may be an institutional one, not an individual one, at least judging
by ESPN’s track record and their inept statement in response to the
outrage— Here is what they wrote after pulling the headline:
Last night, ESPN.com’s mobile web site posted an offensive headline
referencing Jeremy Lin at 2:30 am ET. The headline was removed at 3:05 am ET
. We are conducting a complete review of our cross-platform editorial
procedures and are determining appropriate disciplinary action to ensure
this does not happen again. We regret and apologize for this mistake.
The initial comments may have been a poor choice of words, rather than
racist or in poor taste, but you wouldn’t know that from ESPN’s statement.
Note the avoidance in the language used by ESPN— ESPN.com’s “mobile web
site” apparently did the posting, not a writer or editor. There is also
no admission of wrong-doing or acknowledgement that this may have been an
intentionally offensive posting, just some regret and an apology for “this
mistake.” How about a statement that this was insensitive or could be
perceived as insensitive? How about some acknowledgement that this is not
consistent with the values of the company? As a matter of crisis
communications and public relations this statement is a failure.
SB Nation Sports Editor Brian Floyd nicely summed up the controversy when he
wrote: “The headline was unintentional — it had to be unintentional.
Someone is going to get buried for this, making it a hard lesson to learn.
But dang, don’t plaster the word ‘chink’ underneath Lin’s name on a huge
national website without understanding exactly what the backlash will be.
It’s not edgy or funny; it’s a ridiculously terrible mistake.”
I agree with the fact that someone is going to get buried, but I’m not
certain that the headline was unintentional. Let’s not forget ESPN has a
bit of a record with inappropriate comments: Remember the “Trail of Tears
” reference? How about the “ He’s out having a Taco” comment? Or the
“ white boy wasted” comment?
Those three examples plus the two “ Chink in the armor” comments get us to
five, and while five isn’t a trend, it’s certainly enough for Linsanity.
