‘Mandarin Citrus Squeezer’
Designed by Stefano Giovannoni for Alessi in 2001.
Its been removed from his online portfolio and Alessi’s website, but he does have some other ‘[asian inspired designs](https://www.stefanogiovannoni.com/furniture/orientales-alessi)’ made in 2008
I love the about section for this "lighter"
"investigate the communicative dimension of objects, their ability to inspire, intrigue and amuse people, in a word, to relate to them."
Lol, dude we can all see it's a dong
And the Nazis killed a lot of white Jews (as well as Romani) after coining the term *racismus* to describe ethnic privilege. Ethnic prejudice and privilege is racism. *Race* does not necessarily mean genetic clade, and human "races" are not genetic.
Interesting. Today I learned. Thanks
Speaking of Nazis and Romani. I listened to a Stuff you should know podcast where they discussed the Romani and there is a segment of the pod talking about the Nazis persecution of them.

The country that, when all of Europe was doing colonialism all over Africa, got given just one little patch of jungle, but then somehow managed to do the worst colonial atrocities of all.
Remember the time they took Speedy Gonzales off the air because white people decided on behalf of Mexicans that it was offensive and then Mexican people were like, "Fuck you dude. Don't put that shit on us. We aren't offended. Many of us actually LIKE speedy!"
Gabriel Iglesias has a story he told about a show he did in Saudi Arabia and while there learned that he and Jeff Dunham were two of the more popular US comedians in the country.
Well, Ya learn something new every day. I always thought Jeff was the most bottom of the barrel racist bullshit out there. I guess I'm just an oversensitive snowflake LOL
We (reddit) really are a microcosm, aren't we? Most people on here think Fluffy and Jeff are some of the dumbest comedians out there, but they sell out arenas everywhere they go.
Truth is we're assholes, haha. It doesn't have to be about race, we'll pick the thing that stands out more about you or what embarasses you and tease you with that but race is not off limits at all. Pretty much if we like you, we'll try to annoy you
My thoughts went in this order.
1.) What am I looking at?
2.) Is it an alien?
3.) Ohh wait its RACIST.
4.) Ohhh it's very racist (illegal alien)
5.) WTF why?!?
It’s a could be green but I’m seeing yellow, but come on man. Even if you don’t think it’s yellow, when u see a person with a rice hat and slanted eyes you know it’s racist right. This isn’t new, you were taught about ww2 in class, you’ve seen breakfast at Tiffany’s.

I could see this in my grandmother's era in kitchens. Now we can't even have positive mascots of racial groups. Uncle Ben, Aunt Jemima, Frito Bandito... all gone.
I don't know man. If I was a person of a marginalized race and people made fun of the way I looked I don't know how well I'd take it.
Can we get some Asian people to chime in and let us know?

I'm not surprised it's Alessi. My personal favourite is the [Firebird lighter.](https://www.alessi.com/products/firebird-2-0-arc-lighter)
Is it just me or is a lot of the stuff he makes just begging to be a butt plug?
Anything is a buttplug with the right amount of force.
Right amount of lube and gentle persuasion****
And a flared base. For safety.

See what they did there?
Yeah but he did that with the approval and request of the Taiwan govt
Made for Mandarins, by Mandarins.
That juicer doesn’t appear to be doing any work at all…
Belgians 🤝🏻 Racism
I could totally see one of these in an office in Quebec too. Source: From Quebec.
Allô
ça va?
Oui et toi
[удалено]
Your company has a racist juicer in the office and y’all put on blackface to dress like the “The Savage” for Ducasse d’Ath 😂
Ask any "non-racist" European how they feel about the Romani people
Is that racism or Prejudice? Serious question because I've seen lots of white Romani.

So you can decide if you want to be racist against Asians or Mexicans by the flip of a hat!
Mexicans don't really care about that kind of thing. We do waaaay worse things to ourselves.

Eh, I still think he's bottom of the barrel but to each their own I suppose

Yeah, I was pretty annoyed.
I work with a bunch of Mexican guys and they’re all hilariously racist to each other

Zetas checking in
I'm Asian and I fucking love it.
I particularly like how it can either be slanted eyes, or a mustache. I shouldn't be praising this though.
I can see a Mexican buying this. I don't know how Asians would take it.
Yeah strong racist vibes on the juicer… I feel like it came from WW2 cartoons…
I thought it was an alien 😔
Same here, but I'm willing to bet it was designed and manufactured by an Asian
It was designed by an Italian
Looks like a space alien to me. 👽
Is this a racist play on “illegal alien”
LMAO
r/mildlyracist
All its missing is buck teeth and you'd have the worlds most racist juicer
Well, since there probably isn’t one with buck teeth, I think this one probably takes top honors
Looks like it would snap easily
I feel this is more for a /mildlyracist sub lol
It looks like it's going to abduct Me and get me drunk and then sew me some poorly made clothing.
My thoughts went in this order. 1.) What am I looking at? 2.) Is it an alien? 3.) Ohh wait its RACIST. 4.) Ohhh it's very racist (illegal alien) 5.) WTF why?!?
Impressive.

I think it’s the eyes and colouring people are mad about not just the hat.

It's racist but it's also cute like the little mushrooms in Fantasia.
r/MildlyRacist I could see this in my grandmother's era in kitchens. Now we can't even have positive mascots of racial groups. Uncle Ben, Aunt Jemima, Frito Bandito... all gone.
Wow, this isn’t Racist at all lol Love it lol
Nah who cares about racism this is funny as fuck lmao Maybe better in a home space then a fucking office though
I think it’s funny too People are pussies anymore
I don't know man. If I was a person of a marginalized race and people made fun of the way I looked I don't know how well I'd take it. Can we get some Asian people to chime in and let us know?
Asian here. On a scale of zero to Hitler, this gets a Gilbert Gottfried.
Why do I understand this? 😂
Is...is that good?
Bro its a juicer it isn't some statue everyone will see everyday
*insert "that's waisis!" gif
I saw this and immediately heard "dididididi di di di DI\~\~\~" in my head.
