I fail to see how one can actually get offended over this.

But yeah its a dumb idea.


As there depicting all Asians as wearing rice paddy hats, long mustaches, black hair etc - there stereotyping a race of people and essentially Google is condoning that (being a Google App developer)
The app store is very lax in what they allow to be hosted and as a result millions of apps are posted. The apps in their nature are much more playfully racist then actually racist. Google is not even promoting it. They just aren't taking the app down. If we banned everything that someone somewhere did not like there would be nothing left on this planet.


Ah I see, I didn't read into their policies much and news articles have a way of over emphasizing certain points while leaving out the key underlining information

Yeah I agree, wheres the line between it all, if we banned everything there would be no expression and vice versa if we didn't ban certain things.

STOP ASSAULT 2012

Who is Assault? Assault is a mod in the Bungie.net brony group. And what started out with good intentions, viciously spiraled down into a power hungry tyrant locking thread after thread after thread to quell all opposition to his tyrannical rule. Did I mention he is a tyrant?

To donate to the STOP ASSAULT 2012 movement, message me with your credit card info, full name, social security, full adress, and mothers maiden name.

I hope that whoever made that app makes a lot of money off of it.

They act like Google is the one who put out the app. It was created by a private individual and it does not violate any of google's policies.

I'm either a fool or an inteligent man, depending on how sleepy or angry I am.

I originaly made an account on 07.27.2007 but I wanted to link my GT and made this account. Don't forget your passwords!

Yup, there's an app for that!

Cheap laughs, I pity those that think its funny to be racist at another persons expense - how would white americans feel if they were the racial minority (I say americans to regard the creator being american, no fingers being pointed)


>Americans
>Racial minority

Since when is American a race?

And something I find funny about "racism" today: look at a damn government form.

I took the census a few years back and was appalled by how moronic the "race" options were. Seriously.

Hispanic
Latino
Latino-Islander
Mexican
Hispanic-Latino
African American
African
Pacific Islander
Arabic
Persian
Hawaiian
White.

White.

They think it's acceptable to group roughly one billion people, naturally hailing from as far west as Iceland, to the Ural Mountains, to as far south as Lebanon, totalling around 1/6th of the world's population as "white". And last I checked the official term was "Caucasian" but whatever.

The fact is the most assaulted group in the world when it comes to race is white males, just because we had it better at one time.

The idea of "fixing" racism nowadays is not racial equality, it's inequality in favor of people who have dark skin and that's just how it is. Maybe if we could start looking at people as people, rather than skin color, we'd get something done on that front.

On topic, it is a damn funny iPhone game, who gives a crap? Again, "Whites" wouldn't give a crap if there was an app that gave you buck teeth and a cowboy hat. Racial equality is about just that, equality, people need to stop asking for special treatment, we can start on trying to halt stereotyping once we get that far.

Heck, all Asians get straight As anyway, you'd think they'd be smart enough to figure it out.

*trollface*

Butthurt Asians are butthurt.

You think I'd care if the Chinese had a "Make Me White" app where it gives me buck teeth and a cowboy hat?

Course not.


You'd think

Notice how it says "organizations", it's only a few people who have to make the decision to declare something, and apparently it speaks for the whole of the Asian community

Great, an app that lets you pull at your eyes and say "Ching chong".

This is what people use their smart phones for?
It's not like they can use them for much more, because of their locked down nature.

why did the makers of warz release their game unfinished ?

The producer of that game was the producer of Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing.

It's pretty fitting.

Just a bit of fun. I wouldn't call a 'make me white' app racist at all. Quite frankly I wouldn't give a -blam!-

I'm going to invade your heart like a barn swallow high on milk chocolate and grandma love.

Fairness is only possible within the limited powers of man. Elsewhere, there is only chance.

Thus I refute thee.

Nice.

Stereotypes are funny, there's no harm in them when just messing around. And that's not even racist anyway.
