This series illustrates incidents of racial insensitivity I have experienced during my life. Accompanying each painting is a written description of the incident that inspired the piece. Also included in this series are events that have affected the Asian American community on a regional and national basis over the past 60 years — essentially my lifetime. - Roger Shimomura

I like the A&F pic (it's sold, BTW):

...
After instructing all stores to remove the T-shirts, a spokesman for Abercrombie & Fitch said that the company felt that the shirts would be especially loved by the Asian American community and would be seen as cheeky, irreverent and funny. He said that he was surprised by the hostile reception the merchandise received.

damali ayo has artwork and a spoken piece about the golliwog:

see it at:

In particular, it really struck me when ayo talks about her recognition that the golliwog represents how other people see her.
