Dear Adobe Stock team,

Please explain why this image of a Caucasian girl doing a slanted eye pose is featured on your platform.

 

https://stock.adobe.com/hk/images/if-i-were-asian-girl-child-having-fun-pretending-asian-narrowed-her-eyes-asian-culture-kid-wear-eastern-style-clothes-pink-background-chinese-japanese-holiday-carnival-traditional-celebration/294718675


Not only that this image itself is extremely offensive towards East Asians by mocking their appearance, the fact that the creator is making money out of this image is even more disgusting. Please take this down immediately. I know that the Adobe Stock team is trying really hard to promote cultural and ethnic diversity within the platform, but the first thing your team should do is to delete all stock images that are clearly offensive and hateful towards any ethnic minority groups and POC, instead of ignoring the hate towards them within Adobe Stock.

 

I have already seen some community posts about Adobe Stock being insensitive towards racism, and I am extremely disappointed to see your team constantly failing to moderate and delete any sensitive and offensive imagery. Please delete this image now and make sure that this type of racist imagery will not appear on your platform ever again.

 

Thank you.
