Chet Hanks, son of the Hollywood actor Tom Hanks, has been criticized for using a “racist” font on his new collection of merchandise which is also controversially called White Boy Summer.
His black and white range of clothes, which include hoodies, T-shirts, shorts, tank tops, leggings, caps and bike shorts, has been called out online for its use of a Gothic-style font that is close to the one used by white nationalists. It’s also similar to the Fraktur fonts, which were used in Nazi Germany most prominently on the cover of Hitler’s Mein Kampf book.
“Hmm unfortunately the merch looks aggressively racist,” wrote one commentator on Twitter, while another wrote: “Jesus. When I think of typefaces white people should avoid, anything remotely calligraphic/blackletter looking pops immediately to mind...

Woke idiocy continues.
This is what happens when you don’t ridicule idiots for being idiots.
Idiots. The Fraktur script is very old. Lets call everything the Nazis used racist and get it over with.
White wanna-be ganstas copied.
LOLOL
Dumb asses.
Offensive fonts.
Let’s all just use Comic Sans and be done with it.
I’m reading FR in it right now.

You know the House Of Hanks and White Boy Summer is in effect y'all
And anyone that steps up is gettin' wrecked
I thought it looked like Old English scriptures
This is an album cover from the band Sublime.
Script tatoo on white skin.
The band is from Long Beach, CA. Lyrics of the songs contain reference to the LBC (Long Beach Crips). Crips are a black gang. Interspersed in the lyrics is mexican gang patois and mexican accents sung by a white singer.
Gang culture is a meld of different gang sub-cultures, each borrowing from the other.
To call this 'white boy font' and racist is just these wokestrs being suburban squares who don't have a clue about the real world around them.
But don't let that stop them from preaching their white virtue down to us. They, apparently, have the moral high ground.
first used by not-white gangstas

If you want to "honor" the gang-bangers, then hop on over and get yourself banged.
There's nothing funnier than hearing a little asian boy or a white guy talking like a black or mexican gangsta.
Close your eyes, listen, then open your eyes and try not to laugh.
Its the best of all possible fonts, and superior to all others in every single way.
