Default Racist Abercrombie & Fitch knockoff site sends clothing retailer scrambling for answers

Twitter users went into a frenzy today (warning: NSFW) when some people thought a Chinese clothing knockoff site using racist language belonged to clothing giant Abercrombie & Fitch.

The site, which has since been removed, used the N-word to describe a brown colored pair of cargo paints. The confusion and outrage was caused because the site is called "Abercrombie-and-Fitchoutlet."

Gawker reports that Chinese translation software company Kingsoft appears to be responsible for the incredibly poor language choice on the knockoff company's website.

And now, Abercrombie & Fitch says they are attempting to take legal action against the company that was not only falsely using their brand name but has caused them so much undeserved grief.
