Reply to comment by justbeclaus in someone was playing Kanye's antisemtic rant on the bus today by PostureGai

What context did he use the phrase “chink in the armor”? Because I don’t see how that’s offensive unless you’re being underhandedly trying to attack Asians.

The people on here look for any reason to be offended you’re not gonna get a compelling answer here.

You wouldn't say "the armor."

Have you never heard of the phrase chink in the armor in reference to mail chain links?

Apparently, you didn't understand my comment. You wouldn't use "the" in reference to Chinese people and the expression has nothing to do with the Chinese. You'd have to be both stupid and looking to be offended to make something out of that.

The expression is "a chink in the armor."
