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?
