Do you think it would be OK for a black guy to bring out a range of clothing with "Nigger" written across it?

Are you a Pakistani by any chance? Or a negro? Just because it doesn&#39;t offend you doesn&#39;t mean it isn&#39;t offensive. <_<

meh, im russian. B)

its not offensive but by the look of it. it&#39;s a good excuse to be offensive

Sure, If it were a design by a white, middle-class guy, there would be a huge outcry, but as the designer is Asian himself, do you not think we are taking things a little too far?
:blink:

he should design a shirt that says "CH1NK" or "GØØK." i&#39;d buy one. i&#39;d be much more eager to buy it if the shirt was designed by a white, middle-class guy though... &#39;cause how often does the world make a display of solidarity for white, middle-class guys?

Who exactly is the Asian dude in trouble with ? some countries government, the World trade Organization or is this just a publicity crisis ?

Apparently, it&#39;s the local Pakistani community leaders that are pissed off so much.
I think in a way, this guy is cashing in on the (extremely successful) FCUK (French Connection UK) promotional bandwagon. I personally find the fact that some dude walking down the street wearing FCUK across his chest, a little annoying, when my daughter asks why the guy has "fuck" written on his front ;)
I may be way off the mark here, but to quote from Janes Addiction "Nothings Shocking" anymore. <_<

I&#39;m surprised it hasn&#39;t already been done.
There seems to be a flagrant double standard applied to the use of that word.
Dave Chapelle for instance, uses it constantly.
It would seem to be a case of "It&#39;s okay for us to use it, but don&#39;t you dare..." [/b][/quote]
Yup exactly but....it shouldn&#39;t be allowed on network television.
I use it with my friends all the time but not in the workplace. It&#39;s a private thing.
If I were to be around a white guy saying that shit, I&#39;d smack him in the mouth. :angry:

Comedy Central bleeps out motherfucker but not nigger. :blink: Now that&#39;s weird.
