Default Re: What defines offensive?

I was at Hawaiian Gardens the other day and was wearing a black shirt that said "Chicken F--kers INC."

It's a long story... it's kind of an inside joke between some poker playing friends and I.

So the casino manager came over and very professionally asked me if i would change my shirt and gave me a free HG shirt (pretty cool).

He said that some people were offended by my shirt and I needed to remove it and/or be ejected.

FAIR enough... this doesn't really bother me, and the casino manager is an aquantience of mine.

Anyways... I told him I would oblige under one condition:

next time I see someone with a Che Guevara shirt on (which seems to be half the mexicans in LA)... I'm allowed to make the same request and have him change.

I don't want this to turn into an argument about whether or not Che was a disgusting racist or a visionary revolutionist.

What I want to know is if you feel ANYONE can request someone change their look or clothing based on them being offended.

Thoughts?

Sorry to hear about your tragic tale of oppression. You're like the Nelson Mandela of stupid t-shirts. Keep up the struggle, brother.
