Amazon's hawking a British line of men's shoes, but shockingly didn't catch the blatantly racist description for one of the shoe colors.

The "Florence Shakespeare" line is peddling its leather Oxford shoes, and the Amazon listing shows you can get 'em in lots of colors, including "N*****-brown." As of this posting ... those words, uncensored, are live on Amazon.

What the actual word censored?

Because if it’s just Spanish for black that’s not bad.

If it’s the other one that’s a problem

Need to know the race of the company’s owner and if it was an “a” or an “er” before I can decide if I’m offended or not.

It’s a pretty common color term in China I think. Years back I saw a post about a couch that was that color. The Chinese just don’t give a frick.


That and they are super racist

I doubt it

They use negro in this use all over the place in Europe and its in a UK size

And even then the actual word means nothing to anyone from Europe anyways
