A Google app that allows users to change their eye shape and add stereotypical “Asian” accessories is drawing fire from the Asian-American community for being racist, CNN reports.
The “Make Me Asian” app works by narrowing eyes, adding a Fu Manchu mustache and a rice paddy hat. A similar app called “Make Me Indian” darkens skin, adds face paint and a headband in an apparent effort to make users resemble a Native American.
KimberyDeiss, a user on Google Play, seems to be the creator of a host of similar Android apps, including “Make me Russian,” “Make me fat,” “Make me bald” and “Make me Irish.”
