Blatant racial stereotyping as “fantasy”

“China Doll is a fantasy palette inspired by a time and a place. It’s not our intention to offend anyone. The colors and the image for the palette were indeed inspired by the vintage Chinese posters, Oriental culture, and dolls.“
Yeah, because this “Oriental” culture you are trying to pay homage to only exists in the racist, sexist, xenophobic Western imagination through exotification, mysticism and namely, orientalism! Hip hip hoorah for this gross world. Glad their facebook is at least blowing up about it, despite the company’s attempts at pacification.
