ok first of all, I don't even really see a distinctly Asian person in this image. It's not like they drew a picture of a Geisha looking into a microscope.
but I also want to know who was in these focus groups was so ragingly offended by an Oriental-ish woman on there, demanding that all cultures get equal representation? cause now they're just putting a white person on there instead, and I'm pretty sure nobody's going to be like, hey what about us Asians and Hispanics and Indians and Blacks, we want a piece of that action too!
anyways I'm not offended or concerned about it either way, just thought it was odd.
Edit: ok the story doesn't explicitely say the above image is the new de-Asianed bill, but after checking again, it is. Thanks to peeps for pointing that out. I can't find an image of the original draft, but now I can safely assume it really did depict a Geisha scientist.
