The real issue that he did bring to light is that there is no such team as the Caucasians (or anything similar). White people make up over 60% of the U.S. population, yet there is no sports team to honor them the way there is for Native Americans. It's just one more way in which white people are disadvantaged.

Everyone is a damn hypocrite. I sure as hell am, and will be the first to admit it. I mean, I don't commit to it everday, but I DO do and say hypocritcal things on occasion.

It's about hypocrisy. People don's like hypocrisy.


What "hypocrisy" are you alluding to


That some people are all about removing or shutting down anything that they deem to be offensive, and will then go on to be offensive against groups that they deem OK to be offensive toward.

Read the article title again. It's possible that someone would wear that shirt because they thought it was funny or something, but that's not why he was wearing it.


He wasn't "trying to get people angry." He was trying to measure people's reactions to the shirt as opposed to a Redskins shirt.


Which is pretty silly. Even if you're opposed to the redskins name (me personally I say keep the name and make the mascot a potato) but one is a team that has been held the name since 1933 and one is an obvious parody that is trying to get a reaction out of people. Obviously people's reactions are different.

Nah, he proved his point (and far better than he'd hoped, sounds like) without being remotely offensive. There's no sweeter victory than that.

So one woman said it was disrespectful and a few people rolled their eyes at what most people probably thought was a dumb joke much like near any shirt from target.

OMG those God damned hypocrites all white people are evil. Oh wait he walked around New York city? What about the millions of people who ignored him. I'm so sad that he was scarred by the few people that gave him notice.


Why don't people read the article before posting


I did. Did you?

He didn't prove anything though. He got a few reactions to a shirt that was looking for reactions and people said I wouldn't have said anything if it was a t-shirt for a team that has been around for 80 or so years.

Who's getting angry though?

He said one old lady said it was offensive.

One group of guys pointed at him from across the street and he assumed they wanted to fight him.

And a bunch of people rolled their eyes.

So one person was offended, one group noticed him.

And a few people thought it was dumb?

In a city of more than 8 million people.

I'm gonna say it's like here when people make baiting topics and other posters can't help but come in offended when they could just ignore the topic and move on. Some people may look at his "experiment" as being antagonist even if at the core, the T-shirt, isn't offensive in of itself.

Though I still can't imagine being offended at the socially accepted racial term for white people.

So what's the takeaway supposed to be here?
"White people should be offended by the redskins logo if they're offended by this"? Are we supposed to come away thinking that we should all be offended by every caricature, or that we shouldn't be offended by any of them? Because those are the only 2 interpretations of this experiment that don't boil down to "fuck white people" and I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt here.

His statement is white people shouldn't be offended by that shirt if they're okay with the Redskins logo. Being cool with the Skins logo but butthurt over that shirt is hypocritical. Which some folks were when he walked around.

Oh, you're talking about the Cleveland Indians, which is not what this topic is about. If you're asking why the stereotypical logo of Chief Wahoo is considered racist, it seems plainly obvious to me. That doesn't mean you or I necessarily should consider it racist, but a leap of faith/suspension of disbelief shouldn't be necessary to figure out the answer to your question of why others might perceive it as such.
