chop suey specs... again


Over the last several years, people notified me about this racist novelty item multiple times: Chop Suey Specs. I first mentioned them back in 2003, when they were being sold by another retailer. The damn things are still out there, and just not going away. In fact, they've been around since the 1960s. ("Fool your friends this Oriental disguise!")

For some people, I guess this joke will never get old. Meanwhile, the rest of us have to deal with the same old racist comments and slant-eyed gestures. Isn't it great how the pain and annoyance of racial mockery can be someone else's Halloween novelty?
