the Dziuras are not amused

From blogger Marc Choi, and brought to my attention by my Williamsburghian colleague Mikey McClelland:

As Marc calls them: "Racist Flakes!"
(an ad for rice cereal from a Polish newspaper)

Mikey writes: "I love that my friend caught this over the shoulder of a Polish woman on the G train who was reading it, then got off the train and bought himself a copy."

It was especially strange to learn of this ad on this particular morning, as just a few hours ago I was making coffee and I looked out my window and saw a fifty-ish, pleasingly huggable woman in another building standing in front of a window folding clothes, and thought "How can my mom be in New York?" I squinted, and it was an Asian woman. Who looked kind of like my mom. She had the exact haircut my mom had, like, three years ago, and my mom has almost-black hair. It was weird.

I and my quasi-Asian family with the Polish last name will kick some ass over this.

Why does that little girl kinda look like me?

The worst part is, Rice Flakes are actually quite tasty and when I tried a spoonful, I couldn't resist doing a spinning jump kick across the kitchen, right into my giant gong...
