yet another stupid t-shirt design


Racism and t-shirts. They're just a classic combination. From Abercrombie & Fitch, to tired jokes like this one, we've seen them all. And yet stupid, offensive designs continue to replenish and populate the marketplace... case in point, this "Flied Rice" design, seen over at Threadless. First saw this a couple of weeks ago over at Racialicious. Hey, have you heard the one about the dirty Chinese restaurant? Ha ha. So original. The fly is a nice touch. "Flied rice"? Wow, haven't heard that one since fifth grade. That's racist!

EDIT: It should be noted that the t-shirt isn't actually for sale... yet. The way Threadless works, people can submit their designs and users score them. High-scoring designs can win prizes, and get printed and sold on the site. Thankfully, the way things are going now, tamphan98's "Flied Rice" is scoring pretty poorly.
