i honestly don't know what to think about this one. yes, the print screens are definitely racist, but i can't really say i'm upset about it. perhaps i'm racist towards my own kind?
that sales clerk at the A&F store was just an racist idiot. there's lots of them out there. i can be called one in moments of weakness, too.
i've never really been offended by the comments towards women on this board, or azn women either. i just don't take it personally.

(However, that there's been something markedly worse than this is hardly an argument to let this slide.)

'sek-"si-z&m
Function: noun
Etymology: 1sex + -ism (as in racism)
Date: 1968
1 : prejudice or discrimination based on sex; especially : discrimination against women
2 : behavior, conditions, or attitudes that foster stereotypes of social roles based on sex
I think you need to define what YOUR interpretation of sexism is because it's apparent you have a problem with others who appreciate beauty unless it's under YOUR terms.

I personally don't buy from A&F. I just don't understand the reaction to these t-shirts. It doesn't change my perception of people from asian origins at all (or for anyone, for the matter).
I simply don't judge (or prejudge) people. Period.

Sheesh, only in America are people going to get bent out of shape about these stupid shirts. Can't we worry about something more serious? We could be in Israel dodging suicide bombers or in Afghanistan dodging renegade Al-Queda terrorists. Some dumb shirts? Ignore them and shop at Banana Republic if you want.
