"Asian Eyes" on Maybelline's MNY Club
By Claudia Ho, Originally found on angryasianmanA girl put up a video on youtube to show just how ignorant, stupid and offensive Maybelline was with the categorization of "Asian Eyes" in their Maybelline New York (MNY) Club. I think the girl may have been a little too forgiving though because there really is no question about it, they were being idiotically racist. After a bit of an uproar, however, Maybelline has since 3:16PM yesterday, made the appropriate corrections. Good thing their moronic slip-up was caught on youtube, otherwise Maybelline would have gotten away scott-free!
"Do you have 'Asian' eyes? I do not know a lot about makeup, but it's plain to see that this "Eye Shape" customization option -- namely, the shape simply described as "Asian" -- on Maybelline's MNY magazine/newsletter is extremely problematic. That's racist!Rasilla has made this handy video explaining the situation. Someone clearly did not think this through when they designed this damn thing..." -- Phil Yu, angryasianman.com
Thanks again, Phil, for the find!
