“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.

On my final day at work last week they asked me to make labels with this fancy label machine. Instead I crunched out a bunch of these instead!
I am super excited to put these “Racist” stickers on all the Indian Princess, Afro-Man, Amigo Man, Sexy Japanese Girl, and all other costumes sold that are blatantly racist. I am going to make a bunch more the old school way and go wild next time I am out shopping. I also need to stock up on fake blood for my yearly Halloween vigilante escapades of spaying people with fake blood for wearing racist outfits and scampering off into the night. It’s one of my favorite events of the year.
this.
Oh my goodness. Remind me to do this & sexist & queerphobic & sizeist etc.
Yes!
Fucking brilliant- just might.
Wednesday Sep 21 @ 01:27am“culture is like having a hockey team, it’s a way to feel good about achievements that aren’t yours and don’t belong to you.” -someone trying to explain to me about why culture doesn’t actually belong to those of that culture and rather exists as a separate free floating organism to be used how one would like. and that race doesn’t really exist, and that that and culture are just things people should learn to move past because that isn’t what identity is about.
I give up on trying to convince them otherwise. I give up on being called stupid and idealistic and a whiner. No, I’m not going to keep pandering to you and engaging in “debates” where you try to explain why it’s ok to be racist while trying to belittle me. No. Fuck you. /end rant /end something that was never really a friendship to begin with
