What the fuuuuuuugs... Got this passed along to me via Twitter, and had to roll my eyes at yet another example of bold, blatant racist bullshit trying to get passed off as hipster cool. This grotesquely racist necklace was recently spotted by Twitter user @summoningesther for sale on the rack at a Topshop store.
The necklace is part of Topshop's "Freedom Found" collection, which apparently has an aesthetic emphasis on "faraway lands" and vintage shit like Chinese mask charms. When confronted about the item, the manager said it was "acceptable because it was vintage style and not racist." Ah yes, that excuses everything.
