I would think that you could maybe look at bigger issues as a way to showcase how white american "marganalize prejudice and bigotry against asian americans." Maybe its just because i'm and "ignorant white boy", but I just don't see a butt ugly pair of shoes as a foolish, ignorant, and irresponsible issue in the grand scheme of things concerning racism and bigotry.

you're the one who said you're an "ignorant white boy," not me. but i guess if the shoes fits, wear it. not pun intended.
yes, the shoes are ugly...but like i said, you don't have to see the prejudice in them because plenty of asian americans do. and even if you do, the fact that you're marginalizing them is a prime example of exactly what i'm talking about.
prejudice/discrimination/ect. isn't only an isolated issue such as this, caricatures such as this have been going on for years, most recently the abercrombie shirts or the gay vs. asian article in details a few years ago. or even the numerous "ching chong" jokes done by high profile people such as stephen colbert, adam corolla, and shaquille o'neal. this is not a small issue, but yet another example at how white americans view asians as the silent minority, and how we're not allowed to rock the boat in a sea of ignorance.
the "coolie" perpetuated.
