HuffPo: Crystal Renn Gets Her Eyes Stretched For Japanese Vogue
It's generally a bad idea to physically mimic a race or ethnicity that is not your own...But Anna Dello Russo is not someone who cares what people think of her. So she went ahead and styled Crystal Renn for Vogue Nippon (that's Japanese Vogue) as Asian by stretching out her eyes and taping them back with scotch tape...The decision to make Renn over with more Asian-looking eyes is curious given that nothing else about that shoot is Asian-themed (as opposed to, say, a heavy-handed Chinese editorial complete with panda bears). Are the eyes just a cheeky addition? Are they meant to cater to the Vogue Nippon audience? It's not exactly clear why they were necessary -- then again, it's also not clear that there's anything wrong with a little cosmetic eye-stretching...more...

This video make me want to firebomb a small village... or an orphanage...

Sidenote... Where exactly is the limit between political correctness and condescendance ?

Ehhhh, can't wait til this is another case where "we Japanese" can do no wrong but if FG do the same thing, it's offensive? So now are all the Japanese (or SE Asians in general) that get those eyelid surgeries, use tape on their eyelids, and color their hair are not PC??? OMG!! I don't want to live in a world where everyone is PC...

It's highly unlikely that Japanese people would be offended by this.

Yup, pretty much ignorant of race relations outside gran 'ol nippon.

No one complained when Marlon Brando did yellowface.

Thankfully, Don Quioxte still carries Afro wigs so I can go as a bonafide Negro this Halloween:

It all balances out. Negros and Orientals can go as honorary White People - or as the Japanese call them "Americans"!

Wonder if it's racist when I put my nekomimi to feel pretty on lucky-first-tuesday-of-the-month...
