What about an asian version with slanted eyes and chop sticks in their hair.

Or a black version with flaring nostrils and a jerry curl.

There should be an entire collection.

I don't think people realize why he's wearing that.

I don't think it's offensive because it's my brand of comedy. But I can't help but wonder what he'd think about a shirt that said "Negroes" and had a big-lipped black man holding a spear.

Bomani: "Let's see how you white people feel when someone wears a shirt with your race on it and a little white money hungry caricature - doesn't feel very good does it?"

White people: "That shirt is fricking awesome, where can I get one?"

Bomani: "It's supposed to be offensive"

White people: "If by offensive you mean totally awesome, then hell yeah! Go Caucasians!"

Bomani: "But it is demeaning"

White people: "Wtf are you talking about? Caucasians and money are my two favorite things!"

Yeah its really not a big deal. Basically if you are offended by it then it shows why some people are offended by the Indians and Braves mascots.

"The Fighting Honkeys" is a better mascot.

Meh. Doesn't bother me except for the hypocrisy of a white guy wearing a "Negros" shirt would never be allowed on TV

I need one.

Why are people upset? It's not like the little white guy is wearing a KKK hood.
