    We recently removed a tweet on our Xi Jinping article because a common idiom used might be seen as a slur. No offense was intended.

        @Undetermined_US @WSJ and when it is used, it's largely toward Asians. It becomes very difficult to over look and assume no ill intention

        @ChengUSMC @WSJ The idiom, a common one, is "chink in his armor". They used that idiom concerning an Asian. That was the mistake.

        @WSJ this explanation is as bad as your racial slur - you speak as if this is no big deal. WSJ you need come up with something better

        @DeiFrankOne when was that ever an idiom? That is just a racial slur. Argh why can't press just apologise sincerely. Assholes.

        @MsDeeGee @DeiFrankOne "chink in his armor" is an idiom. It means a weakness. Not related to racial slur.

        @DJBentley @MsDeeGee @DeiFrankOne Give me a break. It was intentional, and definitely not funny in 2015. Hell, it wasn't funny in 1955.
