THAT'S RACIST!

Asians Decry Adidas Shoe as a Misstep
A new, limited-edition shoe from Adidas-Salomon AG, part of the "Yellow Series" and decorated with the face of a character who has buck teeth, a bowl haircut and slanted eyes, has provoked a heated debate about the lines dividing racism, art and commerce.

The character on the shoe is the creation of a San Francisco graffiti artist, Barry McGee, who is half Chinese. McGee, who calls the character Ray Fong after an uncle who died, said the image is based on how the artist looked as an 8-year-old. . . .

Did you know adidas have bought out a special Lesbian sport shoe?

It has an extra long tongue and you only need to use one finger to get it off.
