WotC's statements about equity in #DnD rings hollow for me for so many reasons. For one, they are still profiting off of Oriental Adventures and other harmful supplements. When you buy this, you show them that you are ok with Asian people being represented by blatant stereotypes. 
You show consumers that these legacy products are to be consumed. They aren't.
What if someone looks to the optional "Honour" rules found in the 5e DMG or inquires about the "cultures" of Kara-Tur mentioned in the PHB?
Kara-Tur is still being sold and this is a PROBLEM.

If you disagree, you have clearly never had a piece of pop culture harm you. Books like this take my culture, oversimplify the nuances that make it beautiful, mash it together with other cultural reductions, and present it as THE WAY others should view our stories.
I refuse to pay money for these dated, and frankly racist, products. What I WILL do is pay for the amazing products put out by BIPOC creators, hire members of my community, uplift others with my platform, and call out negativity when I see it.
And if you STILL think there is a valid reason for WotC to keep the Oriental Adventures #dungeonsanddragons content on @DriveThruRPG (or any for-profit platform), here's a 26 HOUR answer from @aznsrepresent:
