I totally do not get the level of defense being put up for this shirt, posted likely by it`s maker to get more hits and sales. (Joined just to post the link to this shirt? Looks like spam to me, really...)
It is in poor taste. Somehow because the subject of the stereotyping and poor taste is Asian/Japanese it is excusable. I have no doubt a lot of people would take offense to a shirt with the same level of stereotyping and poor taste if it were another race. Try making a shirt saying anyone black eats fried chicken and watermelon at every meal, and that they can`t say "ask" correctly "to save his life" - see how many people think it`s all just humor.
But Japanese are free game apparently...
I am married to a Japanese man, and I seriously would never even touch such a shirt let alone buy and wear it.
If anyone is trying to find me… Tamyuun on Instagram is probably the easiest.
