I think you might not be too versed in the English language and some of the more arcane terms.

The term a chink in armor means a weak spot or potential weak spot. It is a very old term and does not have anything to do with racist slurs on Asians. Not knowing the original poster, I can't speak for him, but he appears to be using the term correctly to make his point.

BTW, I am an ABC, American-born Chinese, and I think I have heard them (racist slurs against Asians) all and don't think this poster was trying to slur any of us.
