Dear Asians,
Like this post? Yes | No    

I notice you a lot of you really like designer labels. Is it because it shows that you are finally rich like the great white west and can now afford to oppress your own people just like they do?

Explain.

I can only speak for myself as an individual, not for all the Asians here. I really don't give a shit about what label my clothes are. I buy stuff based on comfort, style, and what I need.

That being said, I can think of two possible explanations to your question. One, a consumer might buy designer labels because the name assures them of the quality of the product. Two, a consumer might buy because (as you've said) he wants to show everyone else how rich he is that he can afford such a product.

Dear white people, do you all wear designer labels because you are too dumb to realise that the non-branded products are made in the same sweatshops as the branded ones (or are you simply aiming at maximum exploitation).

Racist.

i'm asian and i admit that there are some us who love to wear designer's cloth just because it make them look rich but mostly they end up looking horible because they have no style, they know nothing about fashion . Style is somthing you can't buy, but you can own it even if you don't have money.

there are some that did not wear designer's cloth, and yet they look very classy very elegant i think at the end it's their own money , if they end up looking rediculous then you can just laugh at them.
but please don't deduce all asians
