Huh. I didn't even get the form letter.
Time to escalate, I think.
Well, personally, I kind of want to slay the dragon.

I especially like how they were all about how long they've had it as a product. I wonder when the description went up, do you know? I mean, even after it was pointed out to me, I had to stare at it for a while to understand what they were doing.

Actually, the more I read those responses, the more burned I get.
I can assure you that in no way was it our attention to poke fun of those of a Japanese heritage or those with pronunciation difficulties and apologize if it comes off as so.
Really? Really, it's about "pronunciation difficulties"? It's about there being a different linguistic sound in a language you don't fucking speak, that your ear can't hear or respond to, asshole. Fuck you, Lush.
I'm going to post over in DW/LJ. Would you guys object to me quoting the responses you've received?

Our wings are not tired.
I won't be buying any more Lush products. If you blog about it, let me know if I can link to it?

OH! I think that was actually my fault. Awkward wording that they cut and pasted into their response.

YES! This is what I meant but my brain couldn't find the right words for it.

Okay, good. I wondered where they pulled that from. If they were responding to you, it's not so bad.

Except embarrassing that I wrote something so bad! I just wanted to send it off quick before I got distracted and forgot.

No, it's fine, lisah. I just thought they pulled that out of the air, which was a weird way to respond, I thought. As a bit coming from you, trying to address with them what the problem is, it's fine.
I totally don't want you to come away from this feeling badly. You publicly objected to an incidence of casual racism that you saw, and that's a marvelous thing and you should be lauded for it.

Also, one of the superconservative people on my friendslist just posted an article about how Obama's trip to India will include a visit to the Taj Mahal. Based on other things she's posted, I'm pretty sure she means it as some sort of indicting religious thing. No one else has commented yet. Should I: a) ignore it, because supporter, b) ask why she's posted the link, or c) comment saying wow, that's great, I've always wanted to see the Taj Mahal?
