Activist Communique: Help ban this racist T-shirt: 'My Indian Name is Runs-With-Beer'

Does ANYONE out there really believe that the designer of this t-shirt INTENDED to offend any native/aboriginal person?

This shirt is a joke, people. It plays on a the descriptive quality of names that is present in all languages. It says NOTHING negative about a native/aboriginal culture. Indeed, it could more likely be construed as indicating a drinking problem amongst European-descended people since the woman depicted is presumably "white".
HOW THE HECK IS THAT RACIST?

Come on, commentators can't be so ill-educated as to believe that any image that hints at a stereotype is automatically "racist"...especially since the word "racism" (in contemporary English) always carries a negative conotation.

Please look at it, actually look at it: WHERE IS THE NEGATIVITY TOWARDS "INDIANS" IN AN IMAGE OF A NON-INDIAN DRINKING?

Now before you say "Well, the idea of the alcoholic Indian...", ask yourself where that idea came from. In your own political correctness, YOU may be succumbing to a subtle racism.

I know many Miccosukee and Seminoles here in Florida and, virtually without exception, they all have a sense of humor. They can laugh at themselves...and even at some stereotypes, just like the Irish, Poles, Britons, Russians, etc. This doesn't mean that they like all the stereotypes, just that they are secure adults, not petulant children.

What they really HATE, though, is the patronizing of their PC "defenders". This is because they understand the diminuation that takes place when other people think someone is so sensitive as to be INFANTILE in the face of mild words. They know that the sensitive-to-everything PC crowd attributes such childish insultability to them by implication...and, as adult men and women, THEY DON'T LIKE IT.

Again, come on, folks! Don't look for offense on the part of others, especially when it's EXTREMELY LIKELY that such offense was NEVER intended. Doing so only diminishes the people whom you think you are "protecting"; it makes them look weak and pathetic.

Hmmm. All the "Indians" I know are way better than that.
Friends, please don't strip away peoples' dignity by treating them like dependent babies who require other people to be hyper-sensitive for them. Such PC-ness makes "victims"; it NEVER helps them.
