Behold, the illustration work of Brooklyn based James Blagden. Lest you bandwagon jumping commenters start freaking out over the above illustration about how Asians are “nerdy and retarded,” Blagden has a series of similar illustrations that highlight the stereotypes of everyone, used for ironic purposes in only the way that hipsters from Brooklyn can be ironic. (And if by “Everyone” you mean White people, Black people and Mexicans. They get their own illustration, apparently.)
That said, I’m strangely proud that our people have a whole font we can rally behind.

I’m strangely not offended. I can deal with a few nerdy and retarded jokes. Now if you put one of those rice field cones on Hung’s head and changed the wording to something a bit more extreme (you know where I’m going with this), then we’d have a fight on our hands. Ironically, this satire works. Not that I would condone it.

as an Asian, I cannot support this font…it’s simply not aesthetically pleasing.
