    No... I believe what I post.

    Unlike a bunch of you fucking, condom-thin-skinned hypocrites, who I know laugh of various cultural stereotypes, but are acting all holy on this thread.

    Again, premise is off. Shirt doesn't make fun of entire culture.

    But let's go with it anyway....

    You didn't think this was funny?

    But my problem is, we have a group of people from one race telling a member of the offended race "Hey, suck it up, you shouldn't be offended. Grow a set!"
    Are all Asians offended by the shirt? My guess is no, most likely not. I'd be shocked if they all were. But as a caucasian male, I'm not about to tell Kosuke Fukudome he shouldn't be offended by a t-shirt that depicts a slant-eyed bear speaking in an overly-stereotypical dialect. Am I personally offended by that? No. But I could damn well see why Fukudome (or any other Asian) would be.
    The fact that you, Simon or a number of other people can't (won't?) is upsetting, really.

    That makes fun of caucasians. As a caucasian male, no, I'm not offended by that. I think it's funny.
    But, what if I was offended by it? I wouldn't react well if Kosuke Fukudome stood up and said I was an idiot for being offended by it. He's not in my shoes.
