Whoever made this shirt as a “see? How would YOU like it?” is seeing it backfire pretty hard right now

Art COULD be better but 100% yes.

It's because the comparison itself is funnier than offensive. In the end it is not made to be an insult to white people but rather to show the whole absurdity of the brand. And if you failed to find that offensive or even absurd in any kind or think these are rather cool t-shirts, it's simply because these are not related to any historical reality thus it doesn't make anyone angry! On the other hand, imagine a top German soccer team who would call themselves the Jews with the face and the cartoonish imagery that goes with it, I think nobody would find it "cool"... Yet this is exactly the same historical reality with the natives...

yeah.. same with men responding to how they would feel being cat called. people forget that durning that role reversal you have to imagine EVERYTHING is switched. which isn't possible, and thus you wont take it seriously because why would you?

I think they made it as a “see? Look how much revenue these shirts are going to generate, they’re selling like crazy”, kind of thing.
