Orientalist perhaps, with possibly a dash of cultural appropriation depending on where the fabric was made, but not really racist in my opinion. Engrish stuff is much more questionable, because a big part of the joke is "Ha ha, these weird yellow people sure talk funny, don't they? Not like us superior people!".

So I nailed the interview for the new company. The interview was that I showed up and filled out paperwork.
They're getting us a golf cart to ride around in instead of walking now!
Bluesummers:
Golf carts, yay!
Do you get paid a proper salary that corresponds to your golf-cart-ness? Or is the golf cart its own reward?
In other news:
I will be receiving six (Count 'em, SIX) W-2 forms, a 1099-G and a 1099-M for taxes this year. The crappiness of last year's job market is dealing me one final blow in the form of a bureaucratic fight to the death. If I'm lucky, I might be able to qualify for a tax credit. HAHAHA yeah right. I'm not rich, only rich bastards with offshore accounts in the Caymans get tax credits. Fuckers.
Jace:
Well I'm getting a 40% raise. and I get to drive a golfcart around which is fun.
Papersatan:
The fabric is question was manufactured for the Alexander Henry Collection, located in Burbank California and was purchased at JoAnns, a major fabric retailer in the US.
