Hahaha the only people that find it offensive are non-asians.

My thought is that people are WAY to "PC" these days. Everyone wants to cry if they get their toes stepped on a bit.

I don't find it particularly racist. But the article in question was done in very poor taste. They singled out a race; I have a feeling that there would have been much more controversy if they had used a different race of people.

I have a free subscription to Details (don't ask, not my idea). Almost all the ads seem to be aiming for gay readers. The fact that SOME of the styles overlap to "trendy" is my only surprise. I saw that page, chuckled, and moved on.
