After Possibly Offending Hispanic Community
Macy's Drops T-shirt
I find the t-shirt statement to be silly but offensive? Am I missing something here?
| QUOTE |
| Macy's stores are no longer stocking a T-shirt because the company said the piece of clothing may have offended potential customers, according to MyFoxDFW.com. The shirt - part of a clothing line exclusively aimed at Latina shoppers looking to express cultural identity through fashion - reads "Brown is the New White," across the chest. Macy's apologized for its decision to sell the shirt, and released a statement. "We are constantly looking for unique and differentiated merchandise that will resonate with our customers as hip, current and trendy. We also continue to work in developing business relationships with minority vendors to serve the growing diverse customer base. We apologize if customers have found some of the merchandise offensive and have removed the style that they found objectionable." |

| I can see where people might be offended - both Hispanic/Latino and Whites |
Do you mind to explain? I do not know if is an English-thing or I am too slow to get it.
The ONLY thing I can think of is "White" Americans being somehow offended because they do not consider Hispanics as "Whites" and Hispanics being offended to the idea that they may want to be/look "White". Is that it? If is that, I find the whole thing ridiculous. TOPIC: Macy's Drops T-shirt
