Initially I thought it as pretty funny, but then when I thought about it, how would people feel if T-shirts were made joking about black, white, indian, jewish, muslim people etc. I dunno. The joke is that in Canada, all the asian people are the rich doctors and stuff, and the white people are the ones that drop out of highschool and have less than basic job skills. I just think it was the fault of a few American college white boys who thought they were being clever by propogating their racist attitudes into the business.
I dunno, I wouldn't have gone as far as complaining about those shirts if I was asian, I just wouldn't buy/wear one.

Or hell, what about the lame excuse for a movie "Kung Pow" ?! Well anyhow, let them complain, I'm not much of a fan for A&F clothing anyhow, but I guess now A&F will receive alot less profits, with a large portion of the Asian-American public complaining and boycotting it
too bad for them
