If in doubt, use ASIAN. Shouldn't be that hard to understand.

Mavs and Knicks has been a very close game. Lin isn't turning it over as much and the Knicks are dominating on the offensive glass.

Not sure why that is his bad. He was moving to set a pick and LeBron threw the ball in his face.

didn't say it was his bad, but it makes him look stupid

There's a designated area for this kind of drivel. It's called CE.

Really? "*****" is like the deliberate racial slur (ie "*****r") and "Oriental" seems more like the dumbass old-school terminology nobody really uses anymore (ie "Negro"). I would assume the one that's deliberately insulting would be worse, but I'm a ***** so I don't really know too much about this stuff.

i think that's actually part of it. ***** could be taken non seriously (eg like *****) whereas oriental makes it seem likt he person saying it is actually racist

The headline on the other hand, no way that is accidental. I totally envision 2-3 white and black buffoons up in NYC or CT office thinking "we should use this headline" and the other (whose responsibility is to act as filter) giggling and saying "yeah DO IT!!!" (okay thats projecting a little)
That is wrong. 99% of Asians I know in America who understand English and have lived more than a few years here understand and is offended by *****. Cracker.
That's like saying a Masai is not offended by *****r and therefore it is not offensive. First of all, does a Masai understand English? If you are from China you are not likely to understand or even have heard ***** while in China. Of course.
Calling yourself Chinkballa does not mean it's not offensive. I'm sure you've heard of Niggas Wit Attitude (original spelling was ******* with Attitude). I guess that means most black people are fine with everyone calling them *******, especially white people. So feel free to go around calling *******.

+++1! I seriously cannot believe that ESPN could be that stupid. Ya.. would they have referred to Steve Nash as "Cracka in the Barrel" or Durant as "***** in the Bush" or something? Glad they fired that asshole immediately.

***** is pretty offensive, I'd say a bit below *****r. Can't really think of anything as charged as the N word.
If someone were to call me a *****, I'd be pretty pissed off.

As well you should be... no excuse for this kind of idiocy.

I'm kinda surprised they would let this sign in the arena much less on TV.

Who are the Lakers allegedly trading Pau Gasol for?
