I am not offended by the shirt. Are you?
---

That shits hilarious
---

quality news lmfao
---

There is literally nothing wrong or offensive with that shirt to any degree, and anyone that is offended is the world's biggest snowflake.
---

Lmao I want that shirt.
---

Lol pretty clever.

lol @ "go redskins"

"nah"

"asshole"
---

whines about PC culture
gets bent out of shape of shirt obviously mocking the ridiculousness of the redskins

folks don't know what they want do they.
---

I remember when Bomani Jones did the same thing with the Indians logo a few years ago and got a ton of shit for it as well, including ESPN themselves forcing him to cover up the logo
---

Not really offensive. I've seen dumber, like a "fuck yo racist grandma" shirts, and Idc if my grandma was racist or not, that's just asking for trouble.

That logo is funny, not offensive at all.

The fact that he's trying to get people angry is the only offensive thing here.
---

lol

I would have wondered what the shirt was, but figured it out pretty quick. Just trolling people to get a rise out of them, and that's what you'll usually get.
---

Is this cultural appropriation? Is white people's skin color not his shirt?

I don't think he's trying to get people angry. He's just walking down the street. Everyone else is getting angry of their own accord.

'Whiteskins' would have been better.
---

He shoulda put "crackers" or "paleskins" on the shirt, tbh. I would have laughed at that shit hard.

Ah yes, the old "talking about it is wrong" defensive position. Makes sense 0% of the time.

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.

LOL

It's amazing how upset people were getting about 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.

That looks like a shirt you'd buy at Hot Topic or Spencers.

That shirt is nothing different than "it's ok to be white". If you're getting offended by an innocuous statement then that's entirely on you.

Would've defeated the purpose to be that direct. Then they'd have a legit complaint instead of a bullshit one.

Caucasian isn't a slur though

Yeah. I mean redskin can easily be catogrized as a slur. But Caucasian is right next to Native American on census and job applications. If white folks find Caucasian offensive then theyre just wanting to be offended.
---

That's a great shirt, but I also feel like if a white person wore it then people would most likely assume it's a white pride thing

Also I remember something similar a few years ago where someone did this with Jews and Asians as the switch

Was that the shirt where it had the United States of America dollar sign in place of the feather?
---

I've often said that they should change their name to the Caucasians.

Although this would probably would be better

Their logo should be a 50's style white guy(think Ward Cleaver) with a pipe in his mouth.

There's a difference between believing something and wearing a political statement on a shirt (or on a hat) in public for all to see.

This is not "talking about it." It's intentionally trying to get people angry.
---

Whiteskins would be funnier for sure, but that being said he went for literally the tamest thing possible to see if it would cause any offense. The fact that some didn't like that is laughable

As a causasian, I am perfectly fine with this and I wouldn't care if someone makes it a real sports team

But people still got offended by it, including one lady with a double-standard about it.

Why would people be angry at a hat that says "Make America Great Again"

It's an implicit political statement.

I think what he's getting at isn't the shirt, but the dude's perceived intent. Maybe people perceived, incorrectly, that he was trying to get them mad, even though it's not anything to get mad about, and that's what triggered them.

Take for instance if myself, a white person, wore a shirt that had the depiction of a black person on it, and it read "Africans". People may wonder what the shirt was, what it meant, and why I was wearing it. If I was walking through a predominatly black neighborhood, maybe I might get some looks.

I, myself, don't care lol. I still feel the shirt should have said crackers or some shit. I would have laughed my ass off even harder.

People are angry about the hat because it's an endorsement of a historically reviled president and his policies. What's the backstory behind this shirt? Those people hate other white people?

Gosh it's downright amazing that guys like this completely understand the subtle implicit meanings behind things when it's a perceived attack on white America but for anything else it's "why y'all offended snowflakes hurr durr"

I actually agree with him and I have long been an enemy of the Racistskins

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.

$10 says half of the stories were made up.

which illustrates the point even more when you think about it.

these people were mad when it's less offensive than redskin.

The people who whine the most about PC culture are quick to kick and scream if you say "white people"

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

And no, they aren't hypocrites because they get angry at people for being hypocritical.
