The Tony Hawk trick chink - chink has nothing to do with the racial slur and everything to do with the sound that the truck makes when it hits the coping on that trick.
No doubt, are there people that actually think that has racial overtones?
No. I just wanted to break up the n-words. I do, however, think that Mullen calling Dwindle's original Chinese factory the "Chop-Chop Woodshop" was a little racist. Chop-chop, of course, having the dual meaning of "get to work", and some type of gibberish an Asian person would say (not unlike "ching-chong").
And Gipper, your logic is impeccable. I guess you had a 50% chance by elimination anyway.
Speaking of racism, I always thought Thiebaud's Real board had the best shape and graphic of its time (perhaps of all time).
