Jeremy Lin has left a lot of defenders in the dust over in his career.
Now he’s showing even while injured, he can put on some pretty slick moves.
Lin called out a racist troll on Twitter who called him the “C” word, a “ch*nk.”
Oh? Don’t do that. Asians are speaking out too…we aren’t doormats https://t.co/Ow6cMtxipg

The troll’s account has since been deleted. It’s unknown whether Twitter took the troll down or if that person is running and hiding.
Either way-mission accomplished by Lin.
Some questioned whether the NBA star should be given such people that kind of attention.
The point guard was quick to defend himself.
Ya I hear you but it’s also letting him and the world know it’s not cool to casually call Asians “chink” https://t.co/ZOnwDOFjxf

Lin is out for the season since October with a ruptured Patella Tendon in His knee.
What do you think? Did Lin do the right thing or should he have just ignored the tweet?

RE: Jeremy Lin Makes Racist Troll Disappears: Lin did the right thing to educate ignorants
RE: Jeremy Lin Makes Racist Troll Disappear: Jeremy Lin Makes Racist Troll Disappears: Jeremy Lin should be renamed Jeremy Lame. His response to racism is so lame, he’s too scared to tackle it or fight back. I think its funny you think that’s an attempt at calling someone out for being racist. it beggars belief he’s Harvard educated, he talks like a retard on Twitter. “not cool” who even says that at his age? only 13 yr old teenagers say things like “not cool.” . After all he’s not Jeremy Lame for nothing.
