Re: Why Abercrombie and Fitch Still Doesn't Get It (Score: 0)
by Anonymous on Monday, December 02 @ 11:55:22 EST | | I'm glad you feel that you are qualified to speak on behalf of all Asian Pacific Americans. You're right, if it doesn't offend you then obviously all the people signing petitions and protesting Abercrombie and Fitch racist garbage are misguided and wrong. How dare they be offended at what clearly is racist merchandise? I'll wait happily for A&F to come out with a new line of merchandise, hopefully depicting Hasidic Jews in the way that Asians were depicted on their merchandise...get over it? You should educate yourself and get a clue. |

(User Info | Send a Message) | Well how about I wear a T with showing a blond girl scratch her head in confusion when solving a 2 + 2 equation problem? Because that's you blondies are perceived as, dumb.
How would you feel if I marketed that to the world, especially in Asia?
The only smart blond is a golden retriever!

It said Blondie (Score: 0)
by Anonymous on Wednesday, January 22 @ 09:56:11 EST | Okay, there's a clear difference between the word blondie--a dessert bar, blondie from the dagwood comics, blondie as in my hair is blond--and the portrayal of asian americans. They didn't portray a blonde woman and if they did you would've been deathly thin w/ big breasts and long flowing hair. If they did the same for Asians, an Asian woman would've been portrayed similarly. But they didn't. They took it a step further...it became racially offensive.
As a mass distributor of a product, they have a responsibility to individuals to curb their creativity when there's a chance it could be widely offensive and could perpetuate negative beliefs. |
