A photograph of a presumably indigenous man wearing a red-and-gold T-shirt that reads “Caucasians,” a parody of the NFL team formerly known as the Washington Redskins, has sparked a viral debate on Twitter.
The photograph shared by @infamouschar appears to have been lifted from the original user, who was not credited, and the man in the image remains anonymous.
Nevertheless, the tweet has raked in more than 525,000 likes in 36 hours, with many in the replies vowing to buy a version of the novelty shirt for themselves. However, others argued that the relatively tame irony didn’t go far enough to actually offend white people, pointing out that “redskin” is a racial slur against indigenous Americans, while team mascots such as the Vikings and the Celtics are not regarded as insults to white cultures.

How about Palefaces?
Is that supposed to be offensive? It’s not even funny, unlike the Fighting Whities shirt.
Thanks. I’m not sure how Caucasian that guy looks.
Nonetheless I favored changing the name to The Palefaces.
I need to break out my shirt from the University of Northern Colorado JV football team, the Fightin’ Whites.
I think that’s fabulous.
There’s one simple trick to the t shirt for it to appear! It’s a seldom used lifehack....just click right here and you’ll be set free....www.clickbait.com
Should have a crosshair on the whiteguy to be acceptable.
It's complicated. And besides; shut up, or you'll be shipped off to a PBS reeducation camp.
So like when I wear a white T-shirt I’m racist?
That’s racist. Lol.

Ok then, how about the Pale Faces? That seems to be about the equivalent. But I’d guess that not even would satisfy the wokies. Only something along the lines of “Die Whitey!” would suffice.
Why not “pale skin” since that’s what Indians called white people (in western movies)
Ooh, PBS reeducation camp almost sounds fun. Like we’ll be watching Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers.
Just waiting for the emergence of the Caucasian Football League (CFL).... /#sadnessSARCASM
I want one!
Will Whitey Ford be removed from baseball history?
What about Whitey Bulger....Now, that is a fellow that fits into Democrat history... /sarc
