"Gee, I wish I knew of a design store that suited my desire to inappropriately stereotype different ethnic and racial groups...one that made kitchen accessories that might offend my more politically correct friends"
BUT WAIT! THERE IS SUCH A STORE!
Welcome to Pylones, a Parisian design store that also has a U.S. branch (and online presence). At Pylones, you can get the following:
A vegetable peeler with the face of a "Chinese" woman
A pot lid cover in the shape of a rice-paddy hat, with an "Oriental" face.
A rice bowl with an "Oriental" face, wearing, of course, a rice-paddy hat.
And for those wanting to expand their racist kitchenware beyond the "Orientalist" realm:
A peppermill of an "African" woman
*But really, you have your choice of 6 different peppermill designs, including a "Native American" woman and "Inuit" woman (see below):
To see all six peppermills (there's a "Chinese" one if you want to continue the "Oriental" motif of your kitchen), click here.
[I originally saw these this afternoon in a boutique store, that also happened to sell a line of bath products called "Miso-Pretty"--it was a banner day for "Oriental" merchandise.]
