We're not all pink, Shran!

Blue eyed devils, honkies, mayonnaise monkies, paleface (probably the most fitting as it's a slur of native American origin and fits the redskins theme), peckerwood, whitey, or white trash

Crackers has to be the nicest derogatory word. Crackers are delicious.

Eh, I don't think crackers quite works, just because the origin and use of the word compared to "Red Skins" has a slightly different context. I think "Red Necks" would have been a solid play on words, but obviously doesn't quite have the same racial connotations and history. Aside from whitey or cracker, I can't think of many other similar pejorative racial descriptors that'd really work though.

Wouldn't work. Doesn't feel the same. Half of the country or more personally identifies as red neck, and proudly. If someone called me that, my first impulse would be a joking fist pump because one half of my family is that, yes.

Those that don't self-identify either jokingly or in seriousness wouldn't see the shirt as applying to themselves, so no part of it would land at all. They'd just giggle and agree like most people in this thread are doing.

Notwithstanding that the actual term redneck came about from the red handkerchiefs worn by workers during the Battle of Blair Mountain, an ongoing strike between unionized coal miners and local company towns that ended in anywhere from an estimated 20 - 100 dead. So again, fuck yeah my ass is a redneck.

Paleface.
Paleface does not have and has never had a good connotation. That one is different and nothing about the implicit reminder is fun. It's one of two whole terms in existence that would make me knee-jerk upset. I'm hoping against every experience I've had with a fairly disappointing race that nobody proudly refers to themselves in the open as Paleface.

Go with that one.

Did you know why natives hate snow?

It's white, and settles on their land.

Did you see the Top Gear episode where the lads went to the Deep South and got chased by red necks cos their car had Hilary Clinton and gay sex painted on the sides?

Isn't that what you do at a good course anyways?

Get shit faced

Assuming just because I’m white my ancestors haven’t experienced the same. Dude, read a book.

I'm on a sugar high from eating left over Halloween candy and I'm dying .... my heart is filtrating ... jesus

"Eat cake?" Where'd it get that from?

It's actually very telling that it can't really produce any decent white stereotypes. Shows how rarely they're mocked. It would have an embarrassment (literally) of riches to draw from with pretty much any other ethnic group.

Its like Original Sin. You were born with it, you will die with it, you can only repent.

Lol no we didn't, you can't just laugh off institutional prejudice. I mean sure, go ahead and ignore the redneck spouting racist bullshit on twitter for your own mental health, but the 90s didn't make any great steps against disproportionate policing and brutality based on race, education inequality, or socioeconomic inequality. Those aren't "ignore it and it'll go away" problems.

We had it right in the '90s.

No, we didn't. Pretending that white supremacism would go away if we pretended it didn't exist has delivered the predictable outcome.

This is a perfect Rorshach/Newspeak statement: you'll either agree or be outraged depending on what you guess about the speaker's ideology.

I'm gonna assume OP agrees with me about _which things_are stupid and go on to enjoy my morning.

White privilege is the privilege of never having to think about your race or be impacted by it. You literally just defined it.

The shirt points that out. You have no problem with it.

I strongly disagree, I grew up in a 100% white community in a 99% white country. In that situation there is no white privilege, because everybody is white.

Would you hold to the position that the white folks of your country didn't benefit from colonialism & exploitation of people elsewhere in the world, resulting in a significant positive effect on generational wealth? Were your social institutions, such as universities and churches, built without any input from colonial exploitation, or doing business with those who did exploit other races for profit?

Privilege isn't just about your local police treating you better than a brown person. It's also about your skin color opening doors to education, power, and wealth.

This one's on me, because I was trying to make a point and be sarcastic at the same time.

While I agree with you, I'll quibble that context isn't actually important here. The point of the shirt, and the point I was trying to make, was that reducing an entire culture to a caricature is offensive in any context (regardless of whether or not you would it offensive). The people who defend using native imagery for sports mascots often claim that the portrayal is intended as an honor, and that they are celebrating the culture instead of demeaning it.

All of your points are correct, and each one compounds the offense. But even if you turn it around and use white people as the mascot, a people and culture who have not been systematically oppressed, deprived of life, liberty, and property, it's still an inherently prejudicial and ignorant thing to do. So any argument about how mascots are intended to promote or celebrate or honor a culture or a people still fails to justify the practice.

It's hilarious that you're trying to defend Native Americans but call them "Indians".

Or they've spent their entire life seeing cartoonishly stupid depictions of their people around every corner and never anything realistic, and, they reasonably, would like it to stop?
