Being a xian I, also, thought it was more of a WTF than something offensive. But like someone else said, I’d give them the benefit of doubt. Some people are just so utterly clueless. A bit of a hijack, but [engrish.com](http://engrish.com) is a testament to how clueless asians can be when it comes to clothing.

One of my friends has the last name Kelly. She showed me the booklet prepared in advance of her family reunion last summer. Some well-meaning but absolutely clueless and tone-deaf relative had titled it “The Kelly Klan” on the cover. My friend was groaning with mortification. (Sheets do not flatter her figure.)
