Maybe she's staring at his neck thinking that with that much cash, he could easily spring for a Dr. Sholls skin tag remover.

No asian woman is going to wear god awful glasses like that out in public. She must be mixed or something.

So no, not racist. She's not even asian.

OT, but what in the holy hell is a skin tag?

Maybe I've been living under a skin rock, but I'd never heard of a skin tag before that commercial.

I think the fact that your friend assumed that asian women wanting money is a sterotype is a little more racist in itself.
Either way, none of those examples are.

Yes I do think it is racist. Not all white people are rich, stop labeling us like that!

Wow, what a waste of time clicking on this thread.

Someone needs to dial down the political correctness BS.

Totally. Us white people are always getting the short end of the stick.


Pretty much everything in our society has to be multi race nowadays. Whether it is ads to job applicants to the friggin statue of the flag raising on Iwo Jima pretty much everything has to have a 50/50 split of men/women, asians/whites/blacks etc.

Now that they do it on a cover, someone complains that it is too equal. Apparently equal opportunity only applies when people want it to.
