Apparently racism is alive and well on our Android—the Make me Asian app is now on sale at the Google Play store. 

"This is just a fun app lets you indulge you and your friends!" writes developer Kimberly Deiss, who also created the Make me Indian app. "You can for a few seconds to make himself a Chinese, Japanese, Korean or any other Asians!" 

If that doesn't sell you on the app, check out the rest of her descriptions:

• almost instantly, you can make yourself or your friends by representatives of Asian nations, such as Chinese or Japanese;
• the opportunity to photograph people and process the captured images, or upload a photo from the gallery and work with it;
• the results obtained can be shared via the social network Facebook, email or MMS.

She forgot to add that "making you Asian" means adding a Fu Manchu mustache, rice paddy hat and squinting eyes to your photo. Not racist at all!  

If you think Deiss has gone too far, visit 18 Million Rising and sign their petition asking Google Play to take the apps down.
