Isn’t this getting a little old?"},"content":{"rendered":"

According to TMZ, the t-shirt, from Baker Skateboards, “features two Asian men in a car named the ‘General Li.’ One of the men is pro skater Don ‘The Nuge’ Nguyen — who’s sponsored by Baker. The shirt also features a tagline, “Good Orr Boys” … a play on the stereotype of an Asian accent.” But it’s supposed to be funny, right?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Asian American Justice Center said it’s “unacceptable for Baker Skateboards to create a depiction of Asian Americans which uses racial slurs and perpetuates racist stereotypes…<\/strong> Baker Skateboards, and the outlets that sell this shirt, should be aware that use of the term ‘gook’ on their apparel is offensive and quite simply amounts to racism for sale. No one should seek to profit from racism.”<\/p>\n

Seriously? What moron would buy that? Do you think any Asians would? You wouldn’t see any of those racial slurs on shirts related to blacks, hispanics or even whites!<\/p>\n

It was for sale at Skate Warehouse<\/a> but now it looks like it’s been pulled off!<\/strong>
