123. I use "The Fighting Whities" as an example often--however, that's one small team at a

community college that made a little money selling amusing tee shirts and it doesn't quite work in the context I offered.

There isn't a Fighting Whities Day every year, where people of every persuasion dress up as Whities and pretend to fight one another. It's just not the same thing. People don't, like clockwork, have a day where they act out, in stereotypical and drunken fashion, the cultural traditions of people from "Whitieland." More to the point, not all British people are white, nor are all French people.

You see, this isn't about race, specifically (Mexicans, like Americans and people from many other nations as well, are multi-racial, though they do have a strong indigenous heritage through a fairly large swathe of their population), this is more about an insult to a particular--and very specific-- culture. You can find white people all around the world. A Russian "Whitie" isn't the same as a Canadian "Whitie" nor are they the same as a New Zealand "Whitie." But a Mexican of any race has a very long, proud and specific heritage, and much of the symbolism on display on the t-shirts sold at these parties is stereotypical at best, negative at worst.
