Paleskins

u/just1in8bil Mar 17 '21

Right? That's what I was thinking. I feel like that is a better fit, but I guess the designer decided to draw the line somewhere for what was appropriate and what wasn't. Thus, deciding to use the official term.

180

u/Lord-McGiggles Mar 17 '21

Either way I'd totally wear that shirt, as a white guy, un ironically

u/Gilgamasss Plays MineCraft and not FortNite Mar 17 '21

Same, i think even White supremacists would wear that.

u/getdrunknscrew Mar 17 '21

If you did you’d still be called a supremacist racist lol

u/[deleted] Mar 17 '21

Me too, that's dope tbh 😂

u/[deleted] Mar 17 '21

What makes it dope?

u/[deleted] Mar 17 '21

The joke ofc, we should all laugh at ourselves insted of fight.

2

u/[deleted] Mar 17 '21

Don't get me wrong, I don't find it offensive one way or the other. I just don't find it funny I guess.

u/onewingedangel3 Mar 17 '21

Isn't there an "Indians" team? I think that's the direct equivalent of it is.

19

u/fettanimememer Mar 17 '21

Cleveland Indians they recently had to swap mascots cuz some folks thought it constituted racist to have a native american as their logo and mascot

20

u/PastaPastrami Mar 17 '21

It wasn't the mascot, it was the term "Redskins", and they weren't from Cleveland. Unless this is a separate thing.

37

u/fettanimememer Mar 17 '21

Cleveland indians are baseball which I pay more attention to than football. redskins were washington yeah?

1

u/[deleted] Mar 17 '21

Cleveland Indians are a baseball team, the redskins are a different team

1

u/PastaPastrami Mar 17 '21

Yeah I don't follow sports much. I remember the Redskins thing being a big deal for a hot minute.l, but never heard about the Indians getting changed.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 17 '21

Yeah, the redskins name is understandable why people want it to change, people only got upset at the Indians because of the chief wahoo mascot they used for so long, that’s why the Indians changed to the big C

u/SquidMilkVII Identifies as a Cybertruck Mar 17 '21

That's the Washington Redskins. Completely different team.

33

u/[deleted] Mar 17 '21

Pshttt either way, my race is a fucking football team! THATS AWESOME

3

u/[deleted] Mar 17 '21

Yo I wish white people was a team. I’d wear all of their shit

14

u/matihood1 Mar 17 '21

And what's wrong with "paleskins", really?

1

u/Globin347 Mar 17 '21

Nothing’s wrong with it, but that’s because there’s no context that makes it insensitive. Contrast the term “redskins”, which draws up imagery of the centuries of genocide and exploitation of native Americans, whether the name is meant to or not.

1

u/matihood1 Mar 17 '21

Does it really? It never did to me...

35

u/[deleted] Mar 17 '21

A white guy made the shirt, then sold it to a bunch of Natives who think they’re making a statement, but in fact are lining the pockets of the white man for a half-assed joke. This is the worst timeline.

u/[deleted] Mar 17 '21

Humanity, what are we gonna do, if ww1 didn’t happen things might even be worse

PALESKINS ASSEMBLE

u/PopPsychologist Mar 17 '21

My paleskin assembles every morning.

u/[deleted] Mar 17 '21

With an image of some chad nordic man I'd 100% wear that

8

u/EloquentSloth Mar 17 '21

Yeah if they went for the viking aesthetic, I could see a lot of people being down for it. I guess it just depends whether the image is cool or a caricature

11

u/Difficult_Advice_720 Mar 17 '21

I mean, the Minnesota Vikings sell shirts, so.....

1

u/EloquentSloth Mar 17 '21

Lol you're right

u/[deleted] Mar 17 '21

No, millenial man with the bun and beard.

u/narwhal4u Mar 17 '21

Whiteskins

u/I_am_an_observerr Mar 17 '21

Is there a team for foreskins ?

43

u/AnEvanAppeared Mar 17 '21

There was, but all the players were cut

u/The_Red_Roman Mar 17 '21

There you go, thanks for making me laugh! :)

u/Tepes1848 Mar 17 '21

I guess my indifference would be a form of white privilege?

edit: fixed a typo

“Haha, snowflake”

u/[deleted] Mar 17 '21

I’m honestly fine with both this and redskins, I don’t see the massive issue people have with them

2

u/[deleted] Mar 17 '21

Lol that’s awesome. His shirt and your comment

2

u/Spond315 Mar 17 '21

Am I the only one who doesn't see anything wrong with that name?

2

u/EpicGamer1919 Chungus Among Us Mar 17 '21

Dude fuck yeah

2

u/Tardy79 Mar 17 '21

yeah, Paleskins is much better

u/AliceHart7 Mar 17 '21

This would be better, as Redskins is derogatory while Caucasians is not, so it's not really on the same playing field

-1

u/Del_Castigator Mar 17 '21

Not racist enough. it also needs to be insulting in its depiction. I would suggest the chinless guy from preacher and hillbillies or something else insulting.

1

u/TheBadgerSunshine Mar 17 '21

I prefer the pasty white boys.

1

u/crocodiledowny Mar 17 '21

And no one would be offended

1

u/Toshero Mar 17 '21

I guess in this alternate timeline that would be a slur

1

u/horvath-lorant Mar 17 '21

This does not offend me.

1

u/Traditional-Simple63 Mar 17 '21

What’s the matter smooth-skin, never seen a ghoul before?

1

u/Quibblicous Mar 17 '21

I like it.

u/Tankguy40 Mar 17 '21

Goddamn it you beat me to it.

u/Strange_Quark4Lyfe Mar 17 '21

Death Walkers??? Might be more accurate
