The @47 Shop selling caps that reinforce negative Irish stereotypes

I jinxed things.  I was (seriously) thinking just this morning that it seemed that people had finally realized the error of their ways with some of the “Irish” caps that we’ve seen in the past.

Then I saw this.

 

Ah yes, the simian imagery and the reinforcement that the Irish do nothing but drink.

We’re at the time of year where people will get mad that I bring up this point.

I encourage you to read this and educate yourself.  I ask 47 Shop to discontinue this and some other related caps.

I realize that in 2020 these caps are not coming from a place of hate, but are coming from a place of ignorance.  But now you know.
