We never thought eyewear could be racist or remotely offensive. Clothing, perhaps. But eyewear? No. Well, we were just proven wrong.
Now presenting the slanties.
slanties are based on ancient Inuit eyewear. Each pair of slanties is handcrafted. Our light, durable finish shows off the natural wood grain. slanties are engineered to be sturdy and reliable, and each pair is reinforced with a layer of fiberglass. If cared for correctly, your slanties will last for 800 years. Wear slanties on the beach as functional sunglasses. Wear Slanties to the club. Wear slanties to visit your grandparents, they’ll love them too. We hope that each pair will bring you great happiness.
And for a mere $75 you can be a racist*, too.
(* we actually think they're a cute concept, but feel the 'slants' should be wider so as to appear less offensive.)
go here to cop a pair.

At first glance, I didn't think they were racist, but if that guy isn't Asian in the 1st photo, then an argument could be made that they're indeed racist. Also, I don't see why they're called slants? The name should be 'Slit-ties" I still think they're more futuristic/gimmicky than anything else. A name change should be in order to squash the controversy.
