Definition
- Vincent Chin was a Chinese American who was beaten to death in 1982, on the night of his bachelor party, by two White autoworkers, Ronald Ebens and Michael Nitz, in Detroit, Michigan. Witnesses to the crime claim that his killers mistakenly identified him as being Japanese, a group they felt was responsible for the loss of their jobs.
