Wasn’t there a saying that went something like: first they came for the xxx’s and I didn’t speak up, then they came for the yyy’s and I didn’t speak up, then they came for me and there wasn’t anyone left to speak up for me? If someone is mistreating someone in another “group” (regardless of the degree), it’s part of being a member of a civilized society (not mention common decency) to defend them, and to find the mistreatment offensive.

Furthermore, whether or not YOU see the N word in the shirt, there is a significant group of people who DO see the N word in it (me being one of them - and I’m not even black).

I can’t imagine why the vendor should be castigated for erring on the side of being nice.
