Comments on: Asian Fit Sunglasses: How is This not Racist? http://www.uncoached.com/2009/01/13/asian-fit-sunglasses-how-is-this-not-racist/ Fri, 19 Mar 2010 18:07:02 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: Kurt http://www.uncoached.com/2009/01/13/asian-fit-sunglasses-how-is-this-not-racist/#comment-49026 Kurt Tue, 21 Jul 2009 17:59:14 +0000 http://www.uncoached.com/2009/01/13/asian-fit-sunglasses-how-is-this-not-racist/#comment-49026 The person who wrote the original post is over sensitive and utterly retarded. It has absolutely nothing to do with the slant of ones eyes, it is designed to fit an almost bridgeless nose. It also has to do with facial structure. Why should one specific group of people have to suffer with frames that don't fit their face properly because of a possible racist remark. By the looks of things you only made the post so that you could come up with other possible racist remarks towards other ethnicities. I think we know who the real racist is. Maybe you should stop being so damn sensitive and enjoy life rather then finding every little thing to complain about. The person who wrote the original post is over sensitive and utterly retarded.

I'm Asian, and I don't find it racist. It's damn hard finding a pair that fits well --I still haven't found one. 4 out of 5 Asians, who I see wear glasses, constantly have their glasses sliding down their noses and have to adjust them by pushing them back up every 30 seconds. The lens tend to fall below the direct line of vision, because the design of the glasses weren't built to compliment to our low, flat nose bridges. Although it may not apply to everyone, it is true many Asians have features that differ from westerners --one being our noses. So the terms could have been better chosen, but the company was not trying to be offensive. After all, it's unlikely that a well-off designer brand would attempt to sell products, intentionally using racist labeling.
