Using "Asian Fit" seems like a bad idea. Not from a PC perspective but from a business standpoint. I doubt a lot of non-Asian people who might have a smaller nose bridge will even bother to try them. "They're made for Asian people and I'm not Asian, screw that!" Seems like it would have made more sense to give it some kind of abstract name like "Bridge Fit Alpha" or something.
Anyway, I bet this all comes from young, hip Asians (like wedley2
h: ) who like to proclaim their Asian pride complaining that they don't have goggles that fit them right. They were probably trying to address that market very directly. But who knows...
