		<description>No it&#039;s not, read the whole entry, I would however add that the media should be commended on helping people decide for themselves to squash this emabarasment.  The point that I may not have made in full technicolor for you is that if this is the biggest racist fish we have to fry then our society or at least in the daily news, has made some progress. This shirt may be an abberation in this overall progress and so we jump on it because we are so uncomfortable with the subject that we freak out at some juvenile shirt.  If this is news in race relations, then it beats the hell out of people being pounded by firehoses in Selma Alabama, or as I mentioned already the Camps.  

I don&#039;t see alot of opportunity being denied Japanese Americans because people think it&#039;s funny that the L&#039;s turn into R&#039;s upon translation.  

Well, I&#039;m white, and I cant dance, and I have no rythm and I can&#039;t jump and I like my lawn to look imaculate and spoil my children and.....I can handle a joke.

And so can my Black, White, Hispanic, and Asian friends.

Good day sir.</description>

		<description>So, basically because Japanese immigrants were rounded up and interred sixty-plus years ago, Asians need to just shut up and deal with this dreadfully offensive shirt being peddled outside their favorite team&#039;s ballpark?

That&#039;s your argument here? Really?</description>

		<description>Well, they didn&#039;t get the word out to the two morons still selling them at the intersection of Clark and Sheffield during Saturday&#039;s game. I lodged my complaint to the mouth-breathers again, and their only response was &quot;This is America, sir. This is business. Freedom of speech.&quot; 

As if that makes it right. I told him I was using my freedom of speech to tell him he was an ignorant assclown.</description>

		<description>Well, I&#039;m glad Kosuke is a smart guy and understands that a few dumb bastards don&#039;t represent all of us.  But as far as the shirt being funny, a person cannot control what makes them laugh, sometimes it&#039;s discomfort or shock or surprise or some combination of the three.  I laughed when I saw the shirt but I also knew it was wrong.

The one thing I hate worse than ignorance is sanctamony.  You can stop posturing with your self righteous indignation over the &quot;horrible attrocity&quot; that is a joke shirt, or you can do what people do when the tv, or a magazine offends them, you can turn it off, or don&#039;t buy it.

Lighten the fuck up people, every one gets there turn to be the jackass.  Some, just more frequently than others.

If I were Japanese and had to choose between the interment camps of the the 40&#039;s, or stupid tasteless shirt that says more about it&#039;s maker and wearer than it does about being Japanese, I would probably just stomache the stupid shirt.  

I&#039;m sure many of the people who bought the shirt have been lectured and when it happens, I&#039;ll bet many of them will never were it.

I believe it was created affectionately with the idea of being a subversive attempt for the wearer to show that he&#039;s hip to the way things were and now that we are over it can wear a t shirt that mocks such ideas.  I know thats a little essoteriic and potentially appoligist sounding but I just wouldn&#039;t give a fuck if I was japanese.  I am of mostly french descent and I didn&#039;t pitch a fit about our presidents comments about the &quot;cut and run french&quot; or &quot;freedom fries&quot; I just laughed at him and kept on living my life.</description>

		<description>BCB is reporting that these T-shirts will no longer be sold. Enough fans contacted the Cubs offices who in turn have convinced the vendor that they are out of line.</description>

		<description>That&#039;s also such a stupid statistic, because it&#039;s not like the other nine WEREN&#039;T offended.  They just didn&#039;t say anything.  I didn&#039;t say anything to the guy because I was in a rush and was, quite frankly, pretty shocked by the stupidity of the shirt.  I&#039;ll make sure I get there early enough to register a formal complaint next time.  IT&#039;S GONNA HAPPEN.</description>
