Urban Outfitters, a trendy apparel company that targets the 18-30 age group, has come out with a racist T-shirt presently being marketed to the public. The offensive shirt displays the caption “New Mexico, Cleaner than regular Mexico”. Apparently the executives at Urban Outfitters think it’s ok to make repulsive jokes about “dirty Mexicans”, but racism is no laughing matter. Here’s the number of their corporate headquarters, 215-564-2313. Give them a call and ask to speak to someone in charge of retail operations - tell them that racism is not funny, fashionable, or something to be marketed for profit. Last year the bigots at Urban Outfitters marketed a T-shirt with a slogan that read “Everyone Loves A Jewish Girl” - the words surrounded by dollar signs. That outrageous insult brought the Anti-Defamation League into the fray, and the ADL demanded Urban Outfitters stop producing and selling the offensive shirt. Urban Outfitters followed up by releasing a T-shirt called “Ghettopoly”, infuriating African Americans. That not being enough, the 77 retail store outlet released a T-shirt displaying the words “Voting is for Old People”. To their great credit, the Anti-Defamation League have now demanded Urban Outfitters stop selling the shirt insulting to Mexicans and Mexican Americans. The regional director of the ADL, Barry Morrison, told the offending retailer the T-shirt slogan “is saying that the country of Mexico is a dirty place.” Despite the persistent controversies, the sales for the company are up by over 60%. Here at Xispas, we think it’s high time for a boycott of Urban Outfitters.
