pearwaldorfYeah!
I still can't get over this quote:
Carney said the popular youth clothing maker had believed the shirts might appeal to Asian-American consumers, and was surprised by the hostile reception they received.
"The thought was that everyone would love them, especially the Asian community. We thought they were cheeky, irreverent and funny and everyone would love them. But that has not been the case."
::facepalm:: No wonder minorities haven't been able to get into upper management of silly companies like that. But I suppose when you're in the business of trying to reinforce the elite white lifestyle, your priorities are definitely fucked up from the norm.
