Charlie Kirk did not call someone "chink." The reports and videos that have circulated claiming he did are based on a misunderstanding. He was reportedly addressing Cenk Uygur, whose name is pronounced in a way that sounds somewhat similar to the slur, but Kirk was not using the racial slur as an insult. Multiple sources clarify that Kirk was not being racist in this instance, though he has been accused of other racist and hateful remarks separate from this misunderstanding.
