Is the problem that they removed the t-shirt, or that they removed what you consider a non-racist t-shirt?

If the t-shirt included the n-word, would it be ok to remove it, or would it still be “sickening?”

If it contained the n-word, it should most definitely have been removed. As it was, I don’t know. Until yesterday I had no idea of any racial connotation behind the words “Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe”, so I don’t know.

I’m generally in agreement, but I think of it the way I think of the game Smear the Queer. When I was a kid I played it and had no idea it could be considered offensive. Now that I know better, if I were playing that game again, I’d call it something else.

I’ve never heard of that game.
