Afri-tastic!

They say in the product description that this tee is controversial, but I genuinely can’t think of any way that people could be offended by it, would anyone care to enlighten me?

Hmmmm….because it implies that African and Africans are selling themselves out? because it implies that all things African are barcoded and generic? Or maybe it’s because Africa is viewed by non-Africans as being all the same! Yeah, that’s it! Like this giant, huge country is all jungle/bone through the nose/savages! Now that’s offensive! :) (:

Huh, I didn’t read it that way, I didn’t think that Bernos would put out a design with that kind of subtext.

Oh truly I have no idea! I thought that’s what you meant by it being ‘offensive’ – that is offensive to Africans! But i don’t have nay idea really.
