Do you think this cover is racist?
I subscribe to this magazine. A buddy was looking at it, and said 'whoa, can you believe they printed this cover?' At first, I didn't see what he meant, but then he pointed out the stereotype of asian women wanting money/being money-hungry...
Anyway, just wondering what others thought.

Seems to me you'd have to be looking pretty hard to find anything offensive with that.

I don't see anything wrong with it. But that's likely because I never knew Asian women wanting money was a stereotype. Don't all women want that?

I have that magazine, and I am asian, and I didn't even think about it until opening this thread.

It is a bit odd. The white collar woman is mesmerized by the blue collar dude's wad of cash. What is the message they are conveying?
And on a related tangent, have you noticed that Macleans will use any excuse to put a foxy young woman on the cover?

Had no idea that was stereotype.
Anyways, the cover is zero racist.

I'd be gawking at a construction worker flashing that much bling too.

From wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereot...fstede_1996-45
Stereotypes of Asian women - Asian women have been portrayed as aggressive or opportunistic sexual beings or predatory gold diggers using their feminine wiles.
I'll point out this thread to him and see what his response is... LOL
