But this story is not about racism or idiots feeling that outrage=fact, its about money

Primark think "this guy is a twat but there are lots of twats around and this could affect business, pull the line as that makes business sense"

to them its one tiny line but a racism furore could cost money

they dont care about racism they care about money and that is more important

And "if I was black I'd react like this" is massively problematic itself.

I think his point though is that when he first saw it he assumed it was relating to violence against black people, and so if a black person saw it they might make the same assumption, so his personal understanding of the context behind it wouldn't change that. I think he's completely wrong about that but I think that's what he was getting at and if he really believes it, then I don't have any problem with him feeling offended or making a complaint. To me the issue isn't with him it's with Primark. The only reason this is a story is because they actually pulled it and I think the onus should be squarely on them for that decision and not this guy who probably had good (albeit misinformed and possibly dumb) intentions in making his complaint.

I personally always preferred "Itt Ditt Dog **** You Are Not IT!"

Or the all time classic...

"Mickey mouse,
In his house,
Pulling down his trooousers
Look mum,
Dirty bum,
That-means-you-are-not-it."

[jennyjuniper]

Anyone under the age of fifty probably hasn't a clue about the last part of the rhyme and I can't see anyone old enough to know the whole rhyme wanting to wear a T shirt like that.
The guy probably meant well, but I think it's a case of look hard enough and you'll find something to complain about pretty much anywhere.

[Kizzy]

Has nobody thought to question it's use on 'the walking dead' initially?

Or is that a really abstract concept :/

No no no

One potato two potato three potato four

Five potato six potato seven potato more

ONE - BAD - SPUD

And the bad spud was out. Also the person doing the spud counting round the ring had to use their chin as their second spud. A classic.

[Kizzy]

Ip dip do,

dog's got chicken pox so out goes you.

[Saph]

ip dip dog s***
****ing bastard, silly git

[user104658]

Also you would announce this method by saying "spuds up", or "spuds in". now I wish I was an 8 year old kid out playing neighbourhood games again. Sigh. Simpler times.

I honestly didn't even know the offensive version was even a thing, I'd bet most people aren't aware either, seems very over the top to remove the shirt. I mean, it's a **** shirt, but its hardly offensive.
