bahhahahahhah..oh sh!t hahahahah, I'm asian and don't really care abou the shoes, but that "O RRY!?" Owl is too funny.
 
Its notlike they are putting the picture on a horse's ass. They should be honored that adidas even concidered putting something representing an asian on a sneaker.

First Nike gets the sh|t kicked out of them for their "AIR" caligraphy that the jews or somebody complained about how it's too similar to how they spell the name of their god. Now some asians are pissed because their self portrait is on a shoe.

Big fvcking deal. Grow a pair, assholes! :|

I swear if somebody comes out with a shoe with a picture of a fat white redneck on it, I'll buy 10 pairs of them and stock in the company.

Please, as if minorities are the only ones sensitive to issues like this. White people don't need to be, because they're not the minority... but you degrade something else that they like, and they get their panties all bunched up... maybe make fun of christanity, or American patriotism, and you white folks come out of the woodwork the same ways these people are.

QFT

although i'm chinese and really couldn't care less
 
Is this fair treatment? Seems like Asians (and whites) are a safe target for all sorts of racial jabs, whereas you can't make fun of black people without being labeled a racist.

By a comparatively small number of people.
 
The Chinese get custom shoes now? How about us Koreans? Japanese?

We need one with Park or Kim for Koreans, and Tanakashi, Nakano for Japanese!

What makes you connect white people with "Christianity" or "American patriotism"? I think you are being racist.

So being overly (read: unreasonably) sensative about a subject is completely justified simply because there are more of them than there are of you?

Please.

That majority/minority bullshit doesn't work, bud.

WELL.......Howard was the people who put a black woman on the front of a pancake box in a maid's outfit and named her Aunt Jemima, lol, were they racist? By the way she has been on the box now for decades. Were they racist, Howard? Was this racist, Howard? Don't even get me started on the Cream of Wheat Man, hehehehehehe. Just grow up, Howard 😛

Good point, but not many people think about it that way. Anyway, when they first did that, racism was acceptable (AFAIK), but I'm talking about the present.

What I don't get is how you guys just assume this is some racist stunt? Is it tasteful, probably not, but when I look at that I don't quickly think of some asian person. Some of yall just get ridiculous.

And ps, I love Aunt Jemima and Cream of Wheat too, hehehehehehe 🙂
