Anywhere is cleaner than regular Mexico (except maybe Harlem)
Activists have their panties in a bunch over another product at Urban Outfitters, this time a shirt that advertises New Mexico as "cleaner than regular Mexico."
The activists are again complaining about the wrong thing. First, the shirt's message is true. Just like when Mexican President Vicente Fox spoke out about what sort of jobs Mexicans take in the US. He took a lot of flack for it, but he was speaking the truth. Second, the shirt isn't nearly as racist as certain things sold by the Mexican government.
Perhaps the people who waste ink complaining about Urban's clothes should spend some time helping 'disadvantaged' people get jobs, understand the healthcare system, or succeed in the educational system. Here are two organizations that are worthy of their time: one, two.
