\ni came across an e-mail describing a new line of t-shirts by a&f:\n<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
…<\/p>\n
\nYou might all find it interesting to take a look at these links, and see
\nthe new line of shirts Abercrombie and Fitch has come out with– all four
\nare extremely offensive to Asian Americans and continue to propagate
\nstereotypes of Asians. I am shocked that a “brand name” company would
\nproduce such racist products, and I think it’s important that, as
\npolitically and culturally conscious people, we speak out on things like
\nto think about how small things like this make you feel, whether you are
\nAsian or not\n<\/p>\n…<\/p>\n
<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\nthe shirts can be viewed here:\n<\/p>\n
\nshirt #1 – wong brothers laundry<\/a><\/p>\n
shirt #2 – budda bash<\/a><\/p>\n
shirt #3 – pizza dojo<\/a><\/p>\n
shirt #4 – wok-n-bowl<\/a>\n<\/p>\n
\nI took a look
\nat these shirts on the website, and they are pretty fucking offensive (think
\nbreakfast at tiffany’s micky rooney offensive). You have the slanty-eyed
\nasian charicature that is always offensive, and the perpetuation of the
\nasian-laundry stereotype which is in itself a nasty little bit of history.\n<\/p>\n\ni really can’t imagine why abercrombie would even think to put these shirts
\nout. of course this is the same company that charges $24.50 for a t-shirt
\n(the act of paying $24.50 for a t-shirt being, in my eyes, being every bit as evil
\nas wearing a garment with so little consideration for racial sensitivity).\n<\/p>\n\nas the high school punk band i saw in allentown a few years ago suggested,
\nAF should really stand for “all fucked-up”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"as if i needed another reason to hate abercrombie & fitch i came across an e-mail describing a new line of t-shirts by a&f: … You might all find it interesting to take a look at these links, and see the new line of shirts Abercrombie and Fitch has come out with– all four are… Continue reading 75552099<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-231","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","entry"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/s4wnIz-75552099","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.terrorware.com\/geoff\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/231","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.terrorware.com\/geoff\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.terrorware.com\/geoff\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.terrorware.com\/geoff\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.terrorware.com\/geoff\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=231"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.terrorware.com\/geoff\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/231\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.terrorware.com\/geoff\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=231"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.terrorware.com\/geoff\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=231"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.terrorware.com\/geoff\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=231"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
