Umm... this is pretty racist.

eraburge's picture 36 pencils

No it's not!!

Chinese people have narrower eyes compared to the rest of the world... we know that, the chinese know that, grow up and stop shouting racism everytime a cultural characteristic is highlighted.

good add, cheeky with strong imagery

I thought racism is negative discrimination. What's negative or discriminating about showing the features of a typical china man? Just wondering...

It looks rather cute to me...all who feel its racist, must be anti chinese themselves, not to see the cuteness!

You see cute, I don't.

I'm not sure if people who don't think this isn't racist is ever going to get it. Imagine being tormented all your life by people stereotyping you by your race. On the playground, other kids running up to you and pulling the corners of their eyes outward and chanting "Chinese, Japanese..." even though you're neither. I embrace and am proud of my Asian heritage but it's hard to be when you're bombarded with such insensitive thinking. No one wants to catagorized. People do it often enough.

Stereotypes are always going to be there but how about not using them to sell products.
