Mythbusters - Kari Calls Grant a "Chink"!?!?!?

[icecream0527]

which episode is this?

[KaptajnKaffe]

in old cartoons a sharp object would usually make the sound "chink" and have a moving glow, to illustrate how sharp it was. Kari was doing the same thing because she is nerdy and weird- so are Grant who understood the reference.

Nothing racist about this

[fr0wningcat]

except that "chink" usually refers to someone who's of Chinese descent...and "Imahara" is clearly a Japanese name.
