Is Your Font Racist?

I really found this post on WSJ very interesting when thinking about marketing/advertising literacy. In this particular post is focused on the racial undertones on the "fake-brushstroke “oriental” typeface" used to by advertisers to demonstrate that something is "Asian-y." I think this is relevant to us as future educators to understand the amount of information (culture,stereotypes,images) contained in a single font.
