I can't speak for all of Caucasia but I'm not offended.

I will speak to my fellow caucasians and say, "if you're offended, lighten the fuck up, honky."
I think the way it works is someone who is not a member of that group tells you it's offensive
He got it wrong though. The shirt should says "CRACKERS".
Also not offended by this.
Me either, but it's actually meant to be offensive whereas Caucasians is just a classification.
Cracker isn’t an epithet that native Americans have ever used though.
Paleface would be the matching slur to redskin.
The problem with the football teams is that usually the name of team is the name of a group of ppl that was almost exterminated and their descendants still pay the price and nobody cares while their name is used as something cool. Just using the name should not be that offensive.
Except redskins is offensive. It's not the name of a group of people, it's an epithet describing them.
New poll finds 9 in 10 Native Americans aren’t offended by Redskins name
It's offensive to gen z victim mentality complex people who want to define themselves through misery.
Were you going to show us this poll or were you just going to expect us to believe that quote of yours isn't one you just made up?
I'm all for it. I want the mascot to be just a normal guy named "Steve." It's just some white guy in a cardigan. His catch phrase is "Hi, I'm Steve, nice to meet you."
When the players score a touchdown, the fans all chant "Hi, I'm Steve." The customary celebration is for the player to mime a normal handshake.
My favorite team is still the Cincinnati Cracker-Asses
I am okay with the rebranded Honky-tonks too.
Whiteskins seems like a more appropriate name
Shouldn’t the shirt say “Red Necks” or anything more offensive?
I read that a more apt metaphore would be a shirt that says Paleface, with a skinny white dude on it. Cause this shirt actually goes hard.
I see 'paleface' more as a response to something morbidly shocking versus ID'ing a group of people. Similar, if the original were 'redface,' it would be being uncontrollably angry.
Wouldn't swapping in white to have whiteskins, fit better?
"red necks" is usually referring to a specific lot of folk, whereas the original context (of what this is poking at) "referred" of an entire group of people, so saying "caucasians" is more 1:1.
"the west end crackers"
They would gather a following all to fast
Is it racist for me a white guy to wear this?
I'd be worried people wouldn't get the joke and think I was some sort of Nazi.
Yeah, that was my thought too.
There are dumb right wingers who would wear it "see theres nothing offensive about this" as opposed to "See how fucking weird this is"
Only sport that team would play is disk golf
I'm in this comment, and yea I'm ok with that and the post
I would wear that shirt
Can we do this? I want this team. It's gotta be full of burly black guys though. They're clearly better at football. I would start watching football.
Caucasians doesn't roll off the tongue at all. Need something shorter.
Whiteskins.
Peachskins
Pinkskins fits more of us, but that gets into Enterprise territory.
I'm just glad they didn't meet Travis Mayweather first...
I'm okay with that.
Crackers
Caucs
Should go harder IMHO. This ad from the National Congress of American Indians does a good job.
Yeah the only issue here is "Caucasians" is roughly similar in emotional weight to "native Americans."
Shirt should say like, "crackers" or something
I wanted to support the team, but they're so damn unathletic.
That guy (and likely his entire extended family) gets it.
Why is caucasian used to refer to the white race, isnt that for georgians or something?
Misrepresenting the target group is just an added bonus. It's like referring to all indigenous people as "indians" - even if they were from India (which they're not), it's just taking a blanket term and making them all seem like they're the same. At least that's why it's even funnier in this context.
But generally speaking, when people unironically use the term to refer to all whites, well, that just shows that they don't really understand the meaning of the term they are using.
Hell yeah brother got one in a large long?
