Again, Abercrombie & Fitch (a clothing brand popular with gay men since the 1990s) shows it's true colors of racism against Asians.
They've gotten heat for only showcasing hunky, white athletic men in their advertising and male models they hire. They made men's t-shirts that said "Two Wongs make it White" (as in a laundromat) and "Get your Buddha on the floor". They were later pulled after Asian-American groups complained.
Abercombie just opened its first Hollister stores in South Korea. They flew in a bunch of white male models wearing nothing but surfer shorts and sandals for the grand opening.
The white male models thought it would be funny to show the middle finger while they were posing with Korean customers. Another white Hollister model decided it would be funny to squint and make his eyes look squinty, to mock Asian men. He posted the photo on instagram, and exclaimed with a false, mocking Asian accent, "Hahahaha they ruhhvvvv ittt!"
This is very upsetting. We Asian gay men need to stand up and stop letting these White guys mock and humiliate us.
