A "Caucasians" T-shirt mocking the Cleveland Indians has become a hot seller on reserves. Produced by Cleveland's Shelf Life Clothing, the "Caucasians" shirt has become a big hit among those living on reserves in Canada."We have had over 3,000 shares on posts about the tee in the last month and have been working around the clock to keep up,” said Shelf Life's Brian Kirby to the Toronto Star this week, noting that a full quarter of his orders for the shirt in the past month have come from Canada.
“We are selling tees to a wide range of customers – indigenous peoples and Chief Wahoo supporters alike,” Kirby said. “Interpretation of the shirt ranges from a ‘reverse racism,’ ‘see how YOU like it’ intent, to a ‘see, I’m white and it doesn't bother me to be caricatured!’ attitude."
