【eroticism shame】

Despite decades of pushback,eroticism shame it takes a long time for racist caricatures to die.

At Glamour Brasil recently staff members shared a photo to the company's Instagram that featured a group of employees bowing and making "slanty eyes," a gesture widely interpreted to be mocking of Asian cultures.

The post was up for over 48 hours before it was finally taken down Friday. On Twitter, Glamour Brasil apologized for the photo, which was initially taken to celebrate the magazine's "Glamour in Japan" project.

"We would like to apologize to those who have felt offended! We didn’t have that intention and really regret what happened," the magazine wrote.

Em relação ao post de Instagram publicado em 1 de novembro, sobre nossa viagem ao Japão, gostaríamos de nos desculpar. pic.twitter.com/6F0Q16eTNE
