Is this singlet RACIST

[nero_bolt]

Looks like yet another storm in a  tea cup from the easily offended no sense of humour and we hate Australia mob

This Singlet and T-shirt has been available for a number of years on the web, on eBay and in many shops around the country until some super sensitive poonce from Canberra on an end of season  footy trip to Cairns with his team  decided to get himself all offended and post a pic etc and then the usual easily we hate Australia types all jumped on it  (seems some ACT AFL players are over sensitive)

So is this RACIST or simply a singlet that’s says you are proud to be Australian and  if you don’t like it here leave.

Is this yet another storm in a tea cup from the easily offended humourless types 

An original Tweet by George Craig from Canberra  posting a photo of the singlet with the caption “@woolworths cairns, selling racist singlets for everyday low prices! #racist” was shared by Greens MP Adam Bandt on his Facebook page.

I don't think it is a racist comment or a racist shirt.

Years ago there were t shirts - white with a red dot in the middle with what appeared to be japanese letters/characters around the red dot - but closer inspection revealed the letters were actually contorted english letters that spelled out f*** off. That was racist.

It's not your business what shirt they wear either, or the fact that they are proud to say they DO love their country.

And it's their right to say they'd like you to leave because your stance. And your right to stay too.

Isn't freedom grand!

100% agree but the embarrassing rush to decry Australia and to play the racist card overrode the brain and now we are witness to "I Hate Everything" to try to justify their idiocy. Best to ignore this particular  type childish retort  of hatred towards our flag.

I love my country and I do not need to wear a t shirt or other stuff with flags and slogans on them. My husband fought for this country and even he does not see the need for it.

Comes down to the mighty dollar again. Make the stuff and they will buy it. Lots of money for business. Nothing like being a slave to big business.

I don't like shirts with slogans either, but would your husband be offended by seeing someone else wearing that? Or you?

NO!! What was racist was the bombing of Pearl Harbor!!!

Woolworths fbook page has gone viral against the knee jerk reaction to a T shirt.

I hope everybody boycotts Woolworth's for this stupidity. At least a boycott that means something to everybody and not just the elitists.

Tee shirts such as the one in question don't say the wearer loves their country and no the wearers don't have the right to tell others to leave. 

When did the national sport become a race to the bottom of the nastiness to others pit?  Hatred of others is nothing to be proud of.

Personally, I think that statement was uncalled for, the American have done a bit of damage in their day as well.
