There's nothing inherently racist or gang related about balaclavas. I have 2 I got at the military surplus store.

But...they are meant for cold weather. Why is the model dressed on summer clothes except for the balaclava? Kind of implies they are only wearing it to hide their face.

So, people bitched that it was racist and they removed it. Then people bitched that the removal was racist so they put it back. Are they just going to keep ping ponging from one group of bitches to the next group of bitches and have this thing on the website every other week?

I immediately thought to myself, "Why is Nike selling a delicious Middle Eastern dessert?"

Sad news specifically for me.

In the Middle East I’m considered an OT Kibbeh-er.

The Board of Directors is creating a Twitter monitoring committee to evaluate the ongoing tweets and go with whatever side is winning that week.

What’s ironic is that it was designed to include Muslims.

Is this madness ever going to stop??



99% of the OT would get on the other side of the street if this guy was walking toward them at night dressed this way.



But now we're going to act like we have no clue how if could be perceived negatively??
