What white person would give a shit? Call a team the Crackers for all I care. Zero fucking damage.
itscoldhere8monthsoftheyear
If it's America, "Saltine-American"
mahanaha
Whats wrong with either shirt? Why are people so butthurt?
LSDontknowwhatsgoingon
Man imgur loves this shit...
DrSirSexyLegs
I'm an Alaskan redhead that plays golf and I find it funny.
RenardLeBlanc
90% of people (regardless of race) don't give a shit about either and 99% of people don't know who the fuck Bomani Jones is.
Golflar
I need a shirt with a statement like this too... One word, fancy font... "People"
xXWarfairXx
Yeah, I don't know a single white person offended by this
wiredcoat
If White World is so outraged, why aren't there screen shots of people being outraged?.. Just curious..

So much outrage.

"It bothers me that @bomani_jones is wearing a 'Caucasian' shirt"... Is literally the most outraged quote. I appreciate the legwork tho bro
sprbwlshuffler
I find it funny when there are those who say "Don't generalize groups of people" and then proceed to do so.
mishmashmish
Well the point was to show that using stereotypical caricatures people of as mascots isn't okay. They got that message across by doing this
sprbwlshuffler
I know that. I was referring to the guy's tweet that hinted that ALL white people are mad at this shirt. Could not be further from the truth
ObsidianChef
"According to white people". Oh? I can't remember saying this, you know, as a white male.
g7884
WHO THE FUCK CARES???
Caffruta
the continued use of the "Indians" mascot , image and name is racist, so people trying to make the world not so racist.
RoseyRose
But not all Caucasians are white. Caucasians classification includes the middle East and the horn of Africa.
sprbwlshuffler
I couldn't care less. It's a shirt.
JeepJeep7
It's only racist as the purpose behind it is to offend
sprbwlshuffler
In a country of over 300 million people, you're gonna find someone, somewhere, with a dissenting opinion. I think the shirt's hilarious.
jok1r
nigromancy, really?
DrakonRax
I honestly don't give a shit about either.
footfoe
Stop lying. No one is offended by Caucasian shirt.
Mitheledh
The people that found the Caucasians shirt offensive probably also find the Indian shirt offensive.
FleetwoodMacSexPantss
"According to white people" Really just means "According to 30 people on twitter..."
CObullUshitGH
Absolutely 20 of the accounts are troll accounts as well.
OatsRock
confirmation bias like a mofo
AlmightyHamSandwich
He got a much bigger negative reaction than "30 people on Twitter."
Deathfrombelow
Yeah it was like 100 or so.
GodEmperorOfImgur
Yep, I mean we held the big "white people conference" last weekend, and this came up. We all agreed in unison that it was racist. :P
khorrik
lol I'm so disconnected these days.
CheekyBreeki
Sorry bro only true Aryans are invited
badgerbadgersquared
Also the hundreds of thousands of fans who regularly attend games wearing that shirt, a majority of which are white.\
FleetwoodMacSexPantss
That doesnt mean they are upset at the Caucasian one. Im strictly referring to the people hes talking about.
badgerbadgersquared
ESPN told him to cover up the shirt, so there was at least a worry that people would be upset, which is hypocritical for an organization to
MEfros
I'm guessing it had more to do with the fact it's an unlicensed use of one of their logos.
SirFormidio
When I drive I'm worried I'll get in a car accident but I've been in precisely zero. Your point?
FleetwoodMacSexPantss
"Hypocritical for an organization..." Welcome to America, bud. Also, youre completely missing my point.
badgerbadgersquared
Your point was that people were not actually outraged over the caucasians shirt. ESPN obviously thought there was potential, which is really
badgerbadgersquared
do if they are actively allowing and propagating the spread of the Indians logo. ESPN is essentially saying, we aren't worried about
badgerbadgersquared
offending Native Americans, but we are worried about offending white people. Which is financially understandable but still racist and
whoopsywoo
"According to white people" hey fuck off, dont lop all of us together just becuse some people are oversenitive.
PlantainSuperNova
Dude imgur is chuck full of. Shit like "as a blackman" or "i'm not racist but..."
whoopsywoo
I dont say "according to hispanics" or "According to Inuits" becuse that would be ignorant
BrynRedbeard2
If you trying to be racist it's Eskimos... LOL
superdeuces
If it were a white dude wearing an "african americans" jersey this would be a completely different story. Js.
badgerbadgersquared
Well the whole point is that neither of those shirts are okay
LeCacty
Hipocrisy foes both ways my dude
IHazAwoken
Also white ppl named that team and own that team so..
JustPornStuffs
Or just the original argument because it would be the same thing?
Pjnla
I would love to see a white dude wearing a Negro League jersey. I would even give him the black dude nod.
PyrosHaveMoreFun
There's already the Vikings and the Irish. Those are both cultural groups of white people. No one gives a shit
dontmagpie
neither are offensive. its a goddamn tshirt
xemian
Dont see why the dollar sighn is there. Were not all jews

DeniseReade
Fucking joke of the day.
t0ssgames
As an American Indian, I never understood the outrage.
JustWhenThingsAreLookingUp
It's almost as if the Indians image was not made with spite in mind while the Caucasians one is filled with it.
PlantainSuperNova
Our country is infamous for the extermination of natives, so perhaps making a racist caricature of them a sports mascot isn't a good idea.
WasThatAFartOrAShart
It's not racist. It's in no way racist. Tired of the term "racism" being dulled over shit like this. Racism is the belief that one race (1)
WasThatAFartOrAShart
is inherently better than the other. This is in no way saying that, unless it's saying that the "Indians" are better than us at baseball.END
FicklePickle13
For some reason there are many American Indians who finds it dehumanizing to be used in the same manner as animals in this mascot business.1
FicklePickle13
Not to mention that sports rivalries end up generating slogans like "Scalp the Injuns" amongst fans, and the continued misrepresentation 2
FicklePickle13
of American Indian cultures by fans of teams who use them as mascots is usually found to be absolutely infuriating. If there was any degree3
ThisIsFrigglish
Who's actually offended by this?
dembonz00
Nobody. It's just another "them people are offended but not really bc I made it up to make my political point".
LeCacty
Sensitive bitches
ThisIsFrigglish
But I mean.... is there ACTUALLY anyone offended by this, or is it Black Stormtrooper manufactured controversy all over again?
d0o0o0d
I expect that a sufficiently thorough search of Tumblr will find someone who is offended that breathing is necessary.
seagespacho
i guarantee there is a fish kin out there somewhere cursing the air
RadioactiveCanuck
White Hippies who have White Guilt and all the other crybabies who like to complain when they aren't sucking cock for LSD at Coachella.
rosiethereaver
That was a total shit show of a comment, but I'm amused you implied hippies can afford to go to Coachella, but not buy a $10 tab of acid.
xemian
Just been to boom. And its kinda True. Lots of festival nomads. Work for half a year, buy tickets, drop everything and nomad through summer
fatfury
are u saying open minded hippies are offended by this? are you pulling that straight out of your asshole?
RadioactiveCanuck
No, I'm saying that stupid white kids who think they have to make up for what their ancestors did are offended by this crap.
rosiethereaver
Their ancestors? You do realize there are people alive right now that were forced to use separate bathrooms, right?
RadioactiveCanuck
So? again, these stupid White Guilt types mostly weren't around for that, so there's no point for them to feel guilty because of it.
RoloTonyBrown
Almost nobody. People like to pretend there's a controversy so they can get up on a soap box and act like they're right about something.
ANightAtTheCocksbury
If you follow Bomani Jones on twitter... a lot of people. Way more than you'd expect.
0lliecat
Sheeple
GodEmperorOfImgur
Apparently some people believe that all white people gather every week and discuss these things and always agree with each other.
nicknackpaddywack
We tried to mail you the schedule, but we don't have your new address.
rocketbear30
people who think black people have it easy and white people are the real victims
Cpeeds727
Well all the white people of course. All of them.
GodEmperorOfImgur
Yeah, I mean, didn't we unanimously agree on this at the mandatory white people conference last week?
TheGhostofElizabethShue
People who wanna be racist. "What, he can do that but I get fired for my '10 things I've noticed about Mexicans' e-mail!? Double standards!"
MildlyConcernedTV
Funny thing though, some of my family is natives and they don't even care about it
FicklePickle13
Yeah, cause each individual speaks for all members of their group.
trolololono
I laughed until I realized people got offended. Then I was just confused.
IFuckingLoveOtters
When you go out of your way to actually let your life be impacted by a T-shirt you need to re-evaluate what you deem important in you life
DarthFutuza
Mostly just amused meself.
JestersWing
I'd have no problem with a team being named the Caucasians. In fact, it's racist that there isn't. Your move.
SephiRothIRA
Would have to be hockey
fatfranco
The Cincinnati Crackers lol. Made up of Mexicans and blacks managed and owned by whites. Then when they get big the Chinese
DeniseReade
I'm bad at every sport that doesn't take place on water. I'm going to make a team and name it Caucasians.
fuzzlog
Oh, I can't wait for the next set of expansion teams: The Mestizos... So excited!
0lliecat
Atlanta's baseball team was the "Atlanta Crackers" before the Braves moved to town.
Highfarm
If there ever was a club named that, some people would still be outraged, because they would think it was racist towards anyone else
JoeButtcrack
Vikings?
JestersWing
They're not the Caucasians.
Tyrosine68
I'm so white I'm almost an albino and that shirt is funny as hell.
varsil
Yeah, I'm pale enough that people at the paint store will use me as a reference "No, not eggshell... like that guy." I want that shirt.
CosmicCardinal
Fuckin same. I want one of those shirts.
HyperCoolDude
I'd wear it.
Cuirassier
Anecdotal evidence doesn't prove that the red skins logo isn't incredibly insensitive and offensive.
glaug
The logo?
SaintNewts
Me also. What cock knob was offended by that shirt?
lordbane0100
Probably one of those nose ring tumblr people... where most of the noise comes from.
Pjnla
That's cause you the kind of dudes we would be hanging with making jokes and not like the assholes over in the corner complaining.
SippyTurtle
Probably no one and the "news" made it up because people love this shit hence it being on the front page.
BuffingtonRumbleberries
Retards. Not mentally handicapped people mind you, plenty of those guys are alright; but proper retards.
QBetaRange
I am too. I want to know if they sell these in child sizes so that I can buy one for my kids too.
canno89
Shirts funny as hell, just another excuse to perpetuate some racial divide that exists only on world news and social media
SirGrumps
Another white (or red, if I've been in the sun too long...) guy over here. I want that shirt.
quitepossiblygettingold
I'm in NE Ohio and really want that shirt
HistorySchmistory
That doesn't mean that Native Americans find Cleveland Indians or Washington Redskins logos/names very funny. Would Detroit Niggers be ok?
Tyrosine68
I'm not making any statement regarding Native or Black Americans.
BXHOVAYPCK
Im retarded, i dont fucking care, ill start up gather up all the rasict people i can find and leave them on an island with only vegan food
Elonth
as a white guy i'd totally wear this shirt! its like my own N word!
0110000101110110
finally a team jersey that represents my people!
amorgan1
I've never been to Caucasia, though someday I plan to visit the motherland.
MyDixieWrecked69
Im white. Its funny. Not offensive to me in the least. But i find it funny because of the idiots that find it offensive...
makethepeniseskiss
Caucasian here. Where can I buy one
DiscGolfJunkie
I have and wear this shirt often. Had it on last night. I'm overly Caucasian.
PeterCamenzind
I think we all understood you were Caucasian from your name...
BrotherofTheNightsWatch
Amen to that, where can I get one of those Caucasian shirts?
sealfury
I sort of suspect a white person wearing a 'caucasians' shirt could be misconstrued, even if the logo makes the point pretty clear
TotallyOriginalName
I need that design so my dad can print one shirt out.
RussianJudge
Ben?
