Could the high numbers also be attributed to the fact that most Asians stayed after being at Fort Hill for the required stay at internement camps during WWII?

I find it hard to believe that company like Adidas didn't do some kind of focus groups to determine that Asians would be offended at this caricature when the prototype was made. If Asian-Americans don't agree, they have every right to speak their mind and with their wallets not to buy the shoes.
