Newsbusters ^ | July 1, 2020 | P.J. Gladnick

The New York Times has identified a new villain in their insane cancel culture wars. Hawaiian shirts. I kid you not.

On Monday, freelancer Nathan Taylor Pemberton targeted Hawaiian shirts because some undesirable people wear them. His warning about the dire associations connected with that ubiquitous article of clothing came in "What Do You Do When Extremism Comes for the Hawaiian Shirt?"

I’m going to go through my closet and get out all my Hawaii print stuff and start wearing it all the time.

First they came for the Hawaiian shirts, but I did not wear Hawaiian shirts, so I said nothing.

Then, they came for the Bermuda shorts, but I did not wear Bermuda shorts, so I said nothing.

Now, they are coming for my Panama hat, and there is noone left to speak out.

"I wear Hawaiian shirts all the time!................."

I don't wear Hawaiian shirts but like the Haggar short sleeve shirt in the Hawaiian shirt style. I call them my "barber/fat shirt". Besides, they're great for concealed carry...

Pravda or Krasnaya Zvezda has more credibility than the NYT (or any other MSM outlets)

I think I might make the wearing of Hawaiian shirts on our Trump 2020 Victory Cruise mandatory.

It’s not really a secret that Boogaloo Bois wear Hawaiian shirts. They are pretty easy to pick out, and it’s also pretty easy to differentiate them from just some guy who’s also wearing a Hawaiian shirt.

Hawaiian shirts are most likely considered a symbol of capitalism as I believe they were designed or invented to sell for a profit.

My favorite Shirt until I wore it out was a Black and White Hawaiian Shirt.

Never saw another one like it until I was watching Dexter.

The Drug Dealer who Murdered his Mother was wearing the exact same Shirt when Dexter “dispatched” him. When he was done, the Shirt was Black, White and Red.

Every single firefighter that I know...hubby is retired firefighter.....immediately dons Hawaiian shirts upon retirement. It’s a sign they’ve retired.

Hi PJ.

I’ve been to the islands a number of times. I have a few “Hawaiian” shirts.

This article is correct. Why, because I’m a Deplorable.

F’em.

Obama is OK. That’s not a Hawaiian shirt. It’s an African print. You can tell by its blocky and symmetrical pattern.

How do I know? I’ve been collecting tropical shirts for over forty years. My favorites are from Indonesia and Okinawa, both batik, and some rare Hawaiian shirts that have actually increased in value over the years.

I used to collect bowling shirts, too, but had to give them to my nephews after my belly outgrew them.

I have been wearing aloha shirts since the early 90s. When I started ccw no one knew the difference.
