A controversy
stood up against one of the app of google, Make Me Asian following which google
had to remove the app. Make Me Asian was an app with the help of which one can replace
the face from any photo with an Asian one. Google removed the app from its android
app store, play store when about thousands of people signed their petition against
the application.
Peter chin,
a pastor in Washington organized a formal petition in response to this which
was signed by 10,000 people. A statement was then released by goggle to CNN
stating that they pull out all the apps from their store which tend to violate their
policies.

| Google removed Make Me Asian Application |
An Asian American
social worker stated that any such type of application would lead to humiliation
and insult of Asians which by no way is right. As a result of all these controversies
and depictions, Google finally took the decision of removing the app form the store.
In addition, google also pulled out apps like Make Me Fat and Make Me Indian. Make
be Asian was a tool which could easily take any Chinese, Korean or Japanese
face and can enable lots of amendments and alterations over the respective picture
right from applying mustaches to adding that over the picture.
