Oh man, you all missed it. Your loss. They had this half-Asian, half-Canadian dude on there wearing a baseball cap tilted backwards and rotated 3/4 of the way to the rear. Now it's just an American Express logo. I'll keep an eye on the site and let you know if it comes back.

Originally posted by uzlessYeah, I don't get it either. Have people with zero fashion sense formed a race now? And if so, why is Phlab defending it?
what's the problem with that picture? Lots of people look like that. If Lakota can use a Native Indian as their spokesperson to sell pain cream, why can't an airline use a guy with a hat on sideways??
EDIT: that was meant for the phlababit

I think it was society that decided that the use of racial slurs like ricepicker was inappropriate.

and what does he wear on his head? is he portraying a racial stereotype, or is he just wearing a traditional hat and planting some rice?

He was describing a hat, not a person!
What, do you think "cotton gin" is just another term for a black slave?
It doesn't make a difference if he's talking about a hat, he's stereotyping a race and that's not my brand of fun.
P-
