"Make Me Asian," a smartphone app that drew the ire of Asian-American activists for what they say are stereotypical depictions, is no longer available on the Google Play Store.
The "Make Me Asian" app let users alter photos to turn faces into stereotypical Asian caricatures —- think Fu Manchu-style mustaches and rice paddy hats. Its creator, "KimberyDeiss," developed similar apps, like Make Me Indian, Make Me Russian, Make Me Frankenstein and Make Me Fat. Those apps are no longer available, either, and KimberyDeiss's Google Play profile has been deleted.

that's pretty funny racist

It doesn't even make that woman actually look Asian.
 
My favorite penis-looking nation. Sorry, Sweden.
If you think Sweden OR Laos look like penises, this must be you:

[edit: removed ethnic pun that took it a little too far]

I always thought Laos was shaped like a palm tree, personally
 
A Stern asian thread. That's how you know he never left, BabyHeadCrab.
 
I mean, I've been here over a decade now - I was just worried about his old perverted ticker.
 
I will forever associate that name with Mighty Morphing Power Rangers, it's so beautifully 80s/90s.
 
It will use a generic eye blur effect on your eyes and give you Vietnamese Conical Hat and buck teeth. Hah, racism.
