Am I reading this wrong? Seems racist.
Absolutely–looks racist to me too.
You aren’t reading wrong. It’s racist and unfunny.
This artist needs to check his Mexican privilege.
I wanna be a professional victim also!! Ok, here I go! I am SO offended!! Racist!!! So racist!! How DARE they! This shirt! My God this shirt! We MUST take a stand against T-shirt’s!! BAN THEM ALL!!! Expose the maker and use violence to stop this!!
There, how was that? Am I a professional leftist victim now? Lol!
Ya, my brother just ordered this shirt. He is so racist now. OH NO!!!
It’s racist because it equates what most people would associate as a name of Hispanic commonplace with tacos. It would akin to associating an African American name with some other racist association or a Jewish name etc. Now that I’ve explained to you I don’t expect you to understand or empathize. That would be far to high an expectation for the internet but at least you’ve been educated and can’t plead ignorance.
Now to go so far as be offended by it, nah. It’s not meant in that way but still it does promote a stereotype that is not positive or wanted. It’s not guys with tiki torches but it’s borderline tasteless.
So there’s different levels of racism and as long as there are no tiki torches, all is good???
At best: a very inconsiderate pun
at worst: seriously racist
Woot, you all need to pull this shirt!
Hi there. The shirt will end tonight.
It was definitely not intended to be racist. The artist is Hispanic himself.
OMG, racist. I’m dying. Maaaybe the artist is a Chicano. Which means Mexican American (read in sarcastic extra slow voice). Because I am one of those and it is HILARIOUS. All Chicanos know that every Juan loves tacos. Every Juan loves tacos.
First off using the word Hispanic is offensive. You sound like a racist. OK, now for my rant.
