Default Racism

Here is a letter I wrote to Abercrombie after a bad racist experience my wife had, what do you guys think???:


Dear Sirs:
I am writing to you today in extreme dissapointment. Let me begin by stating
that I always loved your fashions. In spite of current events of the 'racial'
t-shirts, I have decided to return two t-shirts recently purchased, these were
not the 'racist' ones, however. I had my wife take them to the Arden Fair Mall
store in Sacramento, CA to return them. She advised the clerk that I was Asian
(she is caucasian)and that I would no longer like to be recognized as an Abercrombie
and Fitch customer and that I'm not going to shop there anymore. The clerk responded by stating that "They usually don't."
My wife asked, "what do you mean?" He responded that "They are the
ones who
steal from this store, they never buy anything." How can your company allow
such blatant racism? I'm no longer talking about the so called 'racist' t-shirts,
I am talking about a direct attack and direct representation of RACISM. My
wife walked out of the store stunned, she did not know what to say. If given
the opportunity, she can identify the sales clerk. Again, I am very dissapointed
and wanted to express my thoughts and concerns.

That's f'd up. Lets protest. We could have a protest meet.

Yesterday while in the ER, the doctor said to a patient shaking with a mask over his face "I feel better than you". I thought that was messed up.

"I am Asian. Orientals are carpets and pottery"
