   Interesting pots, as far as I have understood the T shirts are in fact quite racist…

   But I just wonder if we must mix History & Politics with slogans & mottos printed on a T-Shirt…

   After all I don´t think is is the best place to make statements on political issues.

   But well it is true that the Tshirt´s slogan means so much more than what it could seem at first sight.

   Thanks for letting me know more about your country, Irina , Cheers xxoo,

   Aquileana 🙂

     The writer of this article would prefer “penal colony, established 1788.” This, of course, is true. But white settlers wouldn’t be comfortable with that on a T-shirt. And you are perfectly right in my opinion, why do we need politically sensitive slogans on T-shirts?
