Taking it on the Chen - Chinese baseball player mocked by teammate

This is pretty damn funny if you understand the relationship between the two teammates.
Kansas City Royals pitcher Bruce Chen found himself on the wrong end of a crude and racist gesture on Saturday night as teammate and catcher Humberto Quintero approached him during an interview and made the "slanted eyes" action behind his back. 
Chen, a native Panamanian of Chinese descent, was just starting to chat with Fox's Kenny Albert and Tom Verducci in the bottom of the fourth inning in Pittsburgh when Quintero, a native of Venezuela, approached from behind and made the gesture.

Unfortunately, for the liberal, race-baiting media, Chen is not at all upset:
"I'm not offended at all," Chen insisted. "I'm proud of my heritage and being Asian. I really like the way my eyes look. It makes me look sexy. It's just joking around. I'm definitely not offended, and I hope other people don't get offended. 
"I don't think, by any means, was he trying to put my race down. He was doing it to me, and I like the way my eyes look."
