“These images appropriate a culture that is not my own and I am truly sorry for participating in a shoot that was not culturally sensitive,” Kloss said in a statement she posted to social media. “My goal is, and always will be, to empower and inspire women. I will ensure my future shoots and projects reflect that mission.”

They need to put up a gate on the Asian aisle at the grocery store. No more soy sauce for honkies!

When is Moo going to apologize for wearing Caucasian wigs?

...critics called the fashion model’s spread an example of “yellowface” and cultural appropriation.

The best way to deal with critics is to ignore them. My definition of a critic: One who can't do a thing but can tell everyone else how to do it.

From what I can figure out, Whites aren’t entitled to complain about anything these days. Not sarcasm.

No more sushi for me. Only Japanese should be allowed to eat sushi.

I've always believed that sushi is Japan's way of getting even with us for winning WWII.

They're privately laughing their collective Asian asses off, as we eat what would normally be used as bait when you go fishing, and seaweed that gets tangled in your line!
