Racist Camera! No, I did not blink… I’m just Asian!, originally uploaded by !!! :: jozjozjoz :: !!!.

We got our Mom a new Nikon S630 digital camera for Mother’s Day and I
was playing with it during the Angels game we were at on Sunday.

As I was taking pictures of my family, it kept asking "Did someone
blink?" even though our eyes were always open.

Sheesh! RACIST! icon razz No, Racist Camera, I Did Not Blink; Im Just Asian
