(fwd) Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 22 Apr 2002 20:17:30 -0700 (PDT) From: Chia-Chi Li To: Undisclosed recipients: ; Subject: www.Boycott-AF.com, pls sign the petition and spread the word! Started right here at UW. Please send this to your constituents. It takes about 30 seconds. As many of you may already know, Abercrombie & Fitch Co. recently released a line of graphic tees adorned with offensive caricatures of Asian Americans and text reading, "Two Wongs Can Make it White," "You love long time," etc. Due to protests outside their stores in SF and they recalled the shirts and issued a apology. However, their apology implied that their shirts were made for "asians with a sense of humor." Let us show them how not funny it was by boycotting their goods. Please support the cause and sign the petition at http://www.boycott-af.com Our plan is to release the signatures and hits to AF and the media in a few months to show that you cannot make a profit from racial stereotypes! Please distribute this information as well; to friends, student organization, community organizations, teachers, etc. Thank you!
