the "make me asian" app is not amusing



Oh hells no. At the risk of giving this damn thing more attention than it deserves, behold this ridiculously racist Android app: Make me Asian, which allows users to make themselves "a Chinese, Japanese, Korean or any other Asians!" No, seriously. This is a real app. Here are some actual screenshots:




Well, of course. Everybody knows that all you need to become Asian is one of those rice picker hats and some silly fu manchu facial hair. Here's the official app description:
Have you ever wondered to present himself as a person of another nationality? You can imagine, for example, Chinese or Japanese? No? Then immediately take your phone and download it amazing Android-application called «Make me Asian».

This is just a fun app lets you indulge you and your friends! You can for a few seconds to make himself a Chinese, Japanese, Korean or any other Asians!
Features "Make me Asian":

- almost instantly, you can make yourself or your friends by representatives of Asian nations, such as Chinese or Japanese;
- the opportunity to photograph people and process the captured images, or upload a photo from the gallery and work with it;
- the results obtained can be shared via the social network Facebook, email or MMS.
This idiotic app is brought to you by KimberyDeiss, maker of such fine apps as "Make me Russian," "Make me Irish" and "Make me Indian." Again, seriously. These are actual apps. Why? What is the point? Big middle finger to the person who created this app, and another middle finger to anyone who installs this sh%t on their device. That's racist!

UPDATE: Sign the online petition calling for Google to Remove the racist "Make Me Asian" app from the Google Play store.

UPDATE: You can also sign 18 Million Rising online petition calling for Google Play to take down the "Make Me Asian" app: Tell Google these apps are racist.
