Google SHOULDN'T remove it, but they will.

It isn't racist. It is pure fact that Asian's have those facial features. It doesn't say anything negative at all. That's like saying "Black people have dark skin" is racist.

Studies show that men think about sex every 7 seconds. I do my best to eat hotdogs in under 6, just so things don't get weird.

Its not that they make your picture look Asian, its that they used a cartoon stereotype to do it.

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)
.....They are.

If your white you don't have a leg to stand on if somebody makes a racist claim against you.

And here we go.

OK, sometimes I scratch my head and ask myself, "Did they think that through???"

In this case I would say they did not.


it is 2013 how can racism still exist it is just ridiculous whites are just as stupid as anyone else from another race. No one is different it is the year where we all are looking back thinking really? we did that? wow what the hell were we thinking. Why can we not get along?.....I blame the government, they are starting -blam!- lol

sooner or later we will have to stop looking at our selves as white, black, chinese, japanese. asian and any other race out there and start looking at our selves as the human race as one unified race of intelligent beings if we can stop being stuck up

As someone with some Asian heritage I do find this slightly offensive.


They are gonna tell you to get over it.

This is so stupid.
The guy who made the "Make me Asian" app also developed "Make me Irish" and "Make me Russian". There's also a "Make me Fat". Are any Irish, Russian, or Fat people getting offended by this? It's a massive play on stereotypes. If someone made a "Make me Australian" app and had the person turn into a redneck cowboy crocodile hunter, I wouldn't be offended - I'd laugh!

People need to chill the hell out and stop playing the discrimination card as the cover to something they don't agree with or that can be used to score them a meaningless victory over something as insignificant as an app.

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!-
