Assignment:

In the third story introduced in American Born Chinese, Yang introduces Chin-Kee, a character based on offensive Asian stereotypes. Chin-Kee is really the derogatory term "chink" used by non-Asians for Chinese people. Because Yang is an Asian American himself, this move can seem counterproductive and puzzling. What is Yang's purpose in introducing Chin-Kee? Why does he attempt to make Chin-Kee as offensive as possible? How does Yang reconcile Chin-Kee with the other stories by the end of the graphic novel?
