I would give anyone the shirt off my back but it might insult them
People can be sensitive about their choice in clothing. It's really not a big deal to me; dress how you want to dress. Even if you want to walk around like a billboard advertising all these multinational companies whose sweatshops put together your supposed envied look, not my business...right? Well, despite the larger, global consequences of dressing oneself in the US, I'm not one to judge. But I did get a little creeped out over the weekend by my friend's son's girlfriend's choice of t-shirt; it was a Blackwater shirt with the company's familiar logo and writing emblazoned on the front, back, and sleeves. Taken a little aback, I asked her where she got it. Her uncle's friend works for them currently (and I think their name is Xe now). Ugh. I wanted to ask, "You know that's a really bad company and stuff, right?" But I ignored it for the rest of the time we were around each other and went back to my middle-class daze in a timely manner. Ho hum.
