we live in a social justice society. There are no hard and fast rules to anything. It's all dependent on societal norms of the time.

[ QUOTE ]
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?

The principle is simple: the owner thinks it's better you not wear that t-shirt. You have a decision: change shirt or leave. The free market is wonderful that way.


Oh, and yes, both Chue Guevara shirts and chicken [censored] shirts are retarded.
