    looked like "Chinito" - which means little Chinese person.

    Used quite frequently among hispanics, although primarily to talk about themselves in jest. I've never heard it used in a hateful way.

    No one knows the context of something and it’s racist....

    Chino/Chinito isn't the issue. The eye slant gesture is.

    Exactly. I just got back from a week in India.

    When your biggest problems in life are whether somebody was offended by an unclear 6 second video, you're doing ok.

    And yet the same people not offended by this are offended by people kneeling.

    Really I thought the biggest problems in America are the high poverty rate, low economic mobility, high incarceration rates, government corruption, and unsafe cities. Things not much different from what 3rd world countries deal with.

    So true. The anthem controversy is definitely faux outrage.

    Here we go!

    "People are way too sensitive now a days."

    Translation = "This isn't racist towards white people, so I don't care."

    Even if he was...it's no big deal.

    Among nationalities represented in the MLB, Japanese have narrower eyes than most. Is it an insensitive gesture? Yea.

    Can it be compared to the systemic racism and police brutality that African-Americans are protesting? Nah.

    This. I have cousins in Mexico who’ve done this. It’s just a joke, not used in a hateful way.

    It’s just a different culture. Hispanic people arent as sensative as most Americans.
