@UltraAnimaniac101 chink is a racial slur towards asians. it also happened to be the answer to the janitors crossword puzzle (another meaning of the word). jd says it loudly and franklin misenterpts.
A chink can refer to a physical flaw in the structure of something, which is why showing vulnerability can be called 'A chink in one's armor,' i.e. your metaphorical armor against the world has a hole in it.
Chink is also a racist way of saying Chinese, in the same way that Jap is a racist way of saying Japanese, so Franklin obviously thought that J.D. was calling him a Chink, never mind that Masi Oka is Japanese and not Chinese.
@djaevlenselv I agree with everything you just said accept two things: Chink as a racist term is not limited to just the Chinese as it includes all Asian races except for Indian. Also Jap is not a racist term for the Japanese in the same way the Scott is not a racist term from the Scottish.
Interestingly, the Janitor was meant to be a figment of JD's imagination, as a personification of his stress. This would have been revealed if the show didn't make it past season 2, so there's a chance that when this scene was written, Franklin would have simply seen JD standing there calling out "CHINK!"
@Cavstic Because in Scrubs, Hiro never utilizes his ability to teleport or freeze time. :P He's living under a false identity on account of his Heroes' Code!
Bu, Chu, and Fu, 3 chinese men wanted to live in America. The American government said it would be ok if they changed their names into something that sounded more American and the Chinese men agreed. So.. Bu became Buck, Chu became Chuck and Fu... ... Fu had to go back to China.
@nubpjuju But don't the Chinese and Japanese people have a strong dislike of each other? So in all actuality to call a Japanese native a chink would be a worse insult.
@Lillypopbop Basically all of Asia has a problem with Japan. Historically, Japan has been very aggressive and has attacked nearly every Asian country and one point in time or another and tried to colonize them.
@FilMarck Sorry, I should have been more clear. I didn't mean that all modern day Asians literally hate Japan, but just that in the historic sense, Japan has been very aggressive towards the other Asian nations.
Do they really hate each other? Not really, but the bad memories still remain.
is it racist that he played a japanese citizen when he's clearly american, like getting a black guy to play a gangbanger or a mexican guy to gardener or...a gangbanger?
@Stinkfly3 LOL, this scene is from season two; I don't think Heroes wasn't on the air yet. Before Masi Oka starred in Heroes, he had a recurring role on Scrubs as Frankiln. Every now and then his character would have a line, but mostly he was one of those back ground characters like Snoop Dog intern/resident/attending.
Well... im white myself, but personally i love all asian people, i mean they're mainly really down to earth, honest and nice people who are great friends to have :) i dont see why everyones hating on them at all... maybe you should all just shut the hell up and stop being so arrogant and racist.
Wow, making general statements about an entire population doesn't make you look any better. Then again, it's easy to get thumbs up with the nonsense you wrote.
