People are getting way to worked up over things.
For example this is what Forever 21 calls their "Oriental Girl" necklace. I for one don't have a problem with this at all. They probably used Oriental instead of Asian because that would have sparked a whole new controversy. In my opinion Oriental is a better choice of word. But seriously how is this offending its just the name of a necklace. The family that owns Forever 21 is a Korean-American family, so they must not have had a problem with it! I know J.C. Penny had a shirt for girls that said: "I'm too pretty to do my homework so my brother has to do it for me", yea I get how that is quite offending, but I seriously don't get how the name of a necklace is too. True it could be sold for a little more than $1.50, but it's just a cute necklace. I bet most people who own it don't even know what's it's called.
