. Related Items Links Macy's department store is no longer selling a T-shirt that might offend some members of the Hispanic community. According to Macy's, one of its goals is to provide an exclusive line of clothing geared toward Latina shoppers looking to express cultural identity through fashion. However, one such item might have actually offended potential Hispanic customers, so the company pulled it during the weekend. The T-shirt, which reads "Brown is the New White," is offensive, according to Hispanic marketing expert Dr. Ed Rincon. "Macy's doesn't know a whole lot about what Hispanics want in the way of clothing. It also says that Macy's doesn't understand Hispanic culture. More importantly, it says that Macy's doesn't understand the Hispanics that lives in the U.S. and the kinds of products they are looking for," Rincon said. However, Rincon said some Hispanic customers might enjoy and even purchase the shirt. Macy's apologized for its decision to sell the shirt, releasing this statement: "We are constantly looking for unique and differentiated merchandise that will resonate with our customers as hip, current and trendy. We also continue to work in developing business relationships with minority vendors to serve the growing diverse customer base. We apologize if customers have found some of the merchandise offensive and have removed the style that they found objectionable."

What? I guess I will be first to reply here.

I'm sorry folks, but that particular t-shirt was offensive to the wrong color, for all the right reasons. And that's all I will say

Nightowl, I fully agree with you!

I didn't see anything about if the back of the shirt says something. If an illegal or one of their advocates wrote "We're Taking Over, Gringos!" on the back of it, I wouldn't be surprised.

Big business will stop at nothing to keep the illegals happy. The rest of us ? All we are good for is paying the bills.

Macy's should see some of the tee shirts www.CafePress.com sells, these would really set'm off.

AT&T is heading in that direction also.

I forgot to mention that while I was going through thousands of pro-illegal rally photos, I did see that t-shirt in a couple. That is probably why the "hispanic" people said they were offended( Ya know, trying to be politicaly correct now days). Kinda like wearing Lou Dobbs masks!

Well, im speechless now. This is just one heck of an ugly shirt...in fashion and morals.

I am going to check out the link above for CafePress. LOL

I think it's way past time for we LEGAL AMERICAN CITIZENS to be doing the offending!!

Hispanic + Brown Is The New White  = Culturally Diverse

White + Where's The Fence? = Racist

Tony:

I think you could come up with some better t-shirts with your graphic design skills.
