Macy's department store is no longer selling a T-shirt that might offend some members of the Hispanic community.

According to Macy's, one of its goals is to provide an exclusive line of clothing geared toward Latina shoppers looking to express cultural identity through fashion.

However, one such item might have actually offended potential Hispanic customers, so the company pulled it during the weekend.

The T-shirt, which reads

I thought maybe the shirt read "LA RAZA" which should be offensive to everyone...but for some reason is not treated that way.

My thoughts exactly. It was a disturbing phrase for me. Yes, I’m white.

It should be disturbing, because the La Raza types fervently believe it.

...Maybe it’s just because I’m Scottish...

Macy’s is the new store I no longer will shop. Let them earn thier living from illegal aliens.

I thought the shirt had this on it:

[processing please hold]

$25 for a frickin tshirt?

I picked me up some Halo3 teeshirts for that price. Doesn't seem high to me.

"If we wore one of those, we’d get stabbed."

Yeah....or arrested for a "hate crime"....

Maybe Macy's can replace it with this shirt.

Here they come! Get ready to back down and bow down and change your national language! And if there is anyting else they want you to do, believe me, they will let you know. Fast.

>>Gosh, I thought it was going to be something like “Mexican-Americans (pause) don’t like to get up early (pause) but they have to (pause) so they do it kind of slooooow.”<<

Mexican-Americans (pause) go to night school (pause) to learn Spanish (pause) and get a C.

From the 60s....

If you're white allright

If you're brown stick around

If you're black stay back...

“What about offending the white community?”

Try this - “White is the new Yellow”

Now THERE’S at T-shirt!!

[PBRSTREETGANG]

T-Shirt should read:

BROWN
wants your
GREEN.

Call me crazy, but Macy's can print up all the t-shirts they want, because here In Southern California, when I wake up and walk outside, I kind of find this more offensive than a shirt:

This offends me

Welcome to America, senor. Please don't kill me...

By Allah’s beard, my wrath does wax exceedingly wroth

By Allah's beard......!! ROFLOL!!!

How about, “I have NO values”. That would probably make them even more money.

How do you say “No, you can’t” in Spanish?
