@hello.kitty: I still don't see the Caucasian-ness in this girl's eyes. The girl has big eyes, but they're still Asian style big eyes.

@hello.kitty: But people in Asia see anime characters as Asian-looking. And being Asian, you'd know that not all East Asian people have "single eye lids."

@shayshay: They might be saying that because they don't think white people (I'm assuming you're white, or at least non-Asian) understand that East Asians don't all have small eyes. Non-white people can be racist/ethnic-ignorant/whatever you want to call it too - even those who were born/raised in the west (though…

@shayshay and @hello.kitty: And what's wrong with colouring your hair? This girl (and the other girl she's looking at) may just be bringing out their highlights - under the sun and certain light, my authentic Asian hair shows highlights of a similar colour (maybe a few shades darker, but definitely not black). Also,…

Maybe he just doesn't want to be criticized for writing a book called "Sarah Palin: Leader for the Unsophisticated, Unpolished Masses" But then again, the Joe/Jane the Plumber crowd seem to LIKE being this way. It's a sense of pride for them, because being sophisticated=elitist. And that's bad.

So will they have to shut down every single pharmacy because a package of condoms has more than 3?

It's not necessarily smart women, but smart women who have "different ideas." My "you-need-to-be-somewhat-socially-liberal-yet-have-finishing-school-polish" philosophy did not bode well in my classes both as an undergraduate and during my master's.

@lijakaca: Yeah, but they're also "oppressing" us!!!

@alwaysapropos: The only times you'll ever see petite models are:

I think it's sad that just because the woman is of Pakistani descent and Muslim (??), they are stricter on her. The woman grew up in the UK and may have had very non-traditional parents/not-so-religious parents. It goes to show that a lot of people don't understand that there people who are of the same religion, yet…

It must be an office appropriate thing vs. images in a magazine/online.

@LatoyaPeterson: I identify with Canadian/western culture, but it doesn't mean that the research I did during my master's, which was 100% based on western tradition, couldn't be applied to China or other East Asian cultures.

@Blueberry26: How many women like football vs guys? How many guys want to watch Ellen vs. women?

"While Yoshino's analysis appears to center white women (as women of color were not historically excluded from the workforce, and in fact, provided the bulk of domestic services for wealthier white women), he brings up an important point"

If they can say that they find Disney offensive, can we get back and say that we find their version of Christianity offensive (and ignorant, at that?)? How come they seem to have so much more power than us "regular", normal-thinking folks?

Question for those familiar with Coming-of-Age Day: Do Japanese families go all out for their kids like Jewish families do for their kids' bar/bat mitzvahs? Or is it more of a big group celebration like prom?

@LostTurntable: No, I disagree with this. Do we have to, once again, say that the commercial was created for an Australian audience? America may be the most powerful nation on earth, but they have no right to dictate what's appropriate and what isn't to another country. Let's look at it this way: A commercial for…

For those who say that KFC is an American company: Yes, that's true, but things must also be tailored to local markets. McDonald's in Hong Kong, for example, has the right to create ads in a way that is different from McDonald's in Canada or Australia. It could even appear to be racist in our eyes. I don't know about…

If they weren't:

@token_liberal_InASeaOfRed: Probably Hong Kong/Taiwan/Singapore influences, where people (or more commonly, only the women - guys usually opt for a western suit ONLY) wear both traditional and western ensembles. It could also be that they wear western clothes for photos only.
