'China was chinked out... there were chinks everywhere': Video shows Ryan Lochte's sister giving racist interview after Beijing Olympics (but she claims she was only joking)

A shocking video has emerged showing Ryan Lochte's sister, Megan, blasting the Chinese in an unbelievable five minute racist tirade where she uses the offensive slur 'chinks' at least six times.

The footage, uploaded on YouTube , shows the 32-year-old being interviewed on local Maryland talkshow Closing Time in 2008, after returning from the Beijing Olympics -- and she has nothing but derogatory things to say about the people she met there.

'We were there for over a week. China was chinked out... Chinks everywhere,' is the first thing that comes out of Megan's mouth.

SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO



Racist: A shocking video has emerged showing Ryan Lochte's sister, Megan, blasting the Chinese in an unbelievable five minute racist tirade

After the show's cringing host, Mickey Cucchiella, tries to reign in the use of the disgusting slur, Megan ramps up her racist rant.

'But it, like, fits them, because they're like, chinks,' she argues as she attempts an impression, clearly unfazed by her deplorable behaviour.



Megan complements the Chinese for their driving, describing them as 'ninjas' but when Cucchiella questions whether ninjas are in fact Japanese, she pipes up: 'They're whatever we want... they're Asian.'

The Olympic gold medalist's swimming success has thrown his entire family into the public eye.



But it seems Megan, who was photographed partying with Ryan after the London games wrapped up, would have been better staying out of the spotlight.



The cringe-worthy video spread like wildfire across the internet on Friday, adding to a long list of gaffs made by the Lochte clan since becoming famous.



But last night Megan spoke out in her defense, claiming the interview was a spoof and that she was in fact making fun of people who were racist, not actually being racist herself.

'I would like to apologize for the video that is circulating,' Megan said in a statement to Celebuzz .



'This was not a real interview, and it in no way reflects my true feelings or persona whatsoever.'



Megan claims she was playing 'a character' on the television comedy show, which featured different comedy skits, fake news skits and staged interviews.



'The video in question reflects a skit from the show in which I acted as an ignorant guest on a talk show that made ignorant comments,' she said.
