NEVER!!!

True story; I once got banned on Jezebel for using all caps like this in a comment. It was an automatic thing that would get you zapped, no question. What can I say, I like using all caps! Funny how times have changed, isn't it?

I'm glad you brought that up. I had a similar convo with someone and I said, interesting how we usually discuss domestic abuse as empowering women to leave. You hardly ever hear it about empowering men not to hit or to teach them another way of channeling their anger.

Despite the fact that there are more women than men, men are more likely to commit domestic abuse. I don't think that fact should be ignored. I don't think male victims of domestic abuse should be ignored ether but pretending that it was totally even and men were every bit as likely to be victims would paint an…

No getting around the fact that women suffer domestic violence in far greater numbers than men do.

Asian here! I don't think I'd be offended if you called me Oriental. Honestly, if a person seems nice and well meaning I will generally give them a pass. My issue with you is more the way you phrased your initial question. It seems like you're assuming most Asians would not (and even SHOULD not) have a problem with…

I don't think people took the time to look past the first shirt. Which makes me wonder if someone swapped shirts, then took a pic for outrage.

Yes, that is what I wanted to know, not whether or not Asian people have a problem with the word, but whether or not they would assume something about the person saying it. Because I already know that the word is problematic.

If a memo to this effect existed, everyone would be freaking out over that

I don't know, I think it's pretty well known that it's offensive, although I've actually never known why until I read this article. I didn't grow up in an area with a great deal of people with Asian heritage and so I never actually encountered this situation firsthand. I never knew it was a word that only referred to…

Jezebel has jumped the fucking shark with all of this offended hysteria

Or it put together at random, and no one realized the association.

You're one of those people who looks for reasons to be offended. Your ESPN restaurant story backs me up on this.

I think the kid looks freaking adorable.

$20 says in the next 24 hours a commenter is going to call you a racist for not tacking on a "some" qualifier to "white people".

That poor employee is going to chewed the fuck out too when all she was doing was stocking the hangers so she could get home in time to watch the some garbage reality tv.

We'd better stop selling bananas to black people too, lest some hashtag activist should witness such a transaction and immediately explode from absorbing, Christ-like, the hypothetical pain of other people.

So, just curious, would you encourage a black mom not to buy this shirt for her kid if he/she wanted it because monkeys are cool? I'm seriously asking because it seems like most responses here feel that regardless of mistake/accident this is still totally Wrong with a capital W. So what if a black kid actually wanted…

Would you prefer that they stop issuing hangers with black kids on them, or discontinue the monkey shirts?

The row of monkey shirts. It looks like the back two are not of the same face as the little black boy in the front. (Heck, it might even be the white boy in the camo thing on our left.)
