		<description>Since stereotypes are all the corporate rage these days, we should spread the &quot;love&quot; around and honor all peoples with logos celebrating their culture!

How about a bucktoof, barefoot White trash cracker-ass-cracker as a logo? Maybe selling something like pork rinds? 

For Europeans in general, we can have a Spanish inquisitor torturing some unfortunate religious infdel. Or maybe a Britzie boy with bad teeth, and a cowardly Frog!

And for Jacob, the &#039;black dude,&quot; how&#039;s about a reprisal of Buckweat and Stephin Fetchit pimping malt liquor? 

The possibilities are endless. 

Madison Avenue needs to get with this new marketing trend post-haste.</description>

		<description>Me neither.  I honestly don&#039;t think there&#039;s anything offensive about it.  Unless there&#039;s a direct reference to something objectionable (which I cannot find on the site), there&#039;s nothing wrong.  Even with Mister Wong, I kinda liked the site myself.  Have you seen that brand of coffee sold in Asian supermarkets?  Mr Brown?  It&#039;s clearly a Caucasian man with a big nose and mustache.  Is that offensive?  I don&#039;t think so; it&#039;s just coffee!

I&#039;m of Asian descent, and unless there&#039;s something rude about an image, I never take offense.  So when angry, well-educated Asians (usually in the US) complain about things like this, I don&#039;t get it.  Even those old American comics about wartime heroes beating up on the Japanese or Vietnamese during WWII or the Vietnam war doesn&#039;t seem offensive.  It was just part of the historical context.

But there is no historical context in the case of ImageGeisha.  In fact, there is no context, sexual or otherwise.  So why the big deal!  I kinda like the site design myself...  Please find some real controversy for this site...  There hasn&#039;t been a good post in a while.</description>

		<description>More about the co-creator of the brand:

&quot;Christina [Fried] is Creative Director and a partner in wollzelle. After graduating from Vienna University of Technology with an MSc in Architecture, Christina began her professional career with a number of media design and architecture internships in Germany and Austria and study trips to Japan, the USA and throughout Europe.&quot;

In other words, the creator of the brand has exposure to the Japanese culture.

Perhaps you&#039;re interpreting things with your American stereotype of geishas (as prostitutes) rather than the way the creator intended (as hostesses)? Just a thought...

Please, PLEASE stop interpreting everything, especially actions from Europeans, as an attack on Asian-Americans... it does nothing but create an us-versus-them mentality, and that&#039;s the last thing we need considering the American Mainstream Media is already lambasting China as the common enemy</description>
