Thanks for saying that. We were all making jokes and relating- I had no intention of getting that deep. I didn’t go to a university that attracts t-shirt fans, so I really could not care less about that one part of the list. But it must be a sensitive subject if someone thinks my mentioning it means I should jump off…

Do not burn that polo! These are jokes, and anyway, these are items/actions that aren’t actual indicators of a racist, but that give PoC an itch that a person *might* be. If you’re not a racist, your shirt won’t make you one ;)

Man, this is terrible. I’m usally on the side of people trying to do right but getting angry letters from the HOA for bullshit like putting the trash out too early in the morning or having a dingy mailbox. These monsters need to move. I’m sorry you have to be close to them. I hope the judge does the right thing. Can…

I went to Tech also for 7 years and the overt racism in that school turned me from a born-and-bred Republican (I didn’t know any better) to a flag-waving, marching, chanting liberal. I took ONE poli-sci class and then changed majors. Lubbock is a hotbed of racist trash.

I asked you to tell me what *your* care was about, but you didn’t answer. I already explained we’re having fun discussing a Random Thing That Happens in the World, but you can’t accept that truth, so fine. Here we go.

For her, don’t forget the bedazzled camo cross on her purse/sweater/hat, too.

I’ve seen than. T-shirt fans are oblivious.

Ironically, the current and former students of Texas A&M generally despise “T-Shirt fans” ie fans of the football team who never attended the University. Many don’t even like it when residents of the area where the school is located (Bryan-College Station) but who have no connection to the University, cheer for the…

I see. And I have no problem with A&M. I present or attend conferences there almost every year and some of my best friends are Aggies (I had to, sorry). Lol.

What is a racist ass football university and how do you know when you’ve found one?

How did the Texas A&M Aggies become such a racist dog whistle in an otherwise conservative state? Like is Texas and Texas Tech paragons of racial equality or something?

Change your second point to “likes highschool football more than college or pro”

‘Used to’ be a Sigma Nu.

Git-ur-done!

Yeah, I don’t think wearing LP means you’re an active racist, but it’s definitely a brand that symbolizes performative whiteness. Same thing as me going out of my way to wear my big ignorant hoop earrings and my gangsta Nikes to class at least once a semester so THEY KNOW.

In Houston I’ve heard the cops just harass you less per sticker, so if you have 10 years- worth I’m your wimdow you’re probably not getting bothered much. But what you described is terribly interesting.

Thank you for this. I’m going to start calling out ‘T-shirt Fans.’

Don’t forget - hates abortion but had his girlfriend get one.

I enjoy your articles and love your take on things. Admittedly, I fit five out of ten of your descriptions... Not at all racist. That’s probably difficult to believe from a white man but it’s true. I just like living in a rural area, have multiple flags that I display around my house, watch Son’s of Anarchy, and I…
