Awful 'Make Me Asian' app is a real thing in the Google store

12/27/2012

A smartphone app called "Make Me Asian" could be renamed "Make Me Mad," as Asian-Americans have petitioned Google to remove it from their app store. The super-classy program allows users to alter their photos, giving themselves almond-shaped eyes, Fu Manchu mustaches and a pointed hat. "You can for a few seconds to make (yourself) a Chinese, Japanese, Korean or anyother Asians," the app's description says. Ha ha ha! Stereotypes are hilarious! The app was created by KimberyDeiss, who also gave us the equally racistastic "Make Me Indian" app. Despite the complaints, Google has not pulled it from their virtual shelves because it doesn't violate their policy on hate speech. [Source]
