5. Yes it would be, but my point was that people criticized the T-shirt business and you say they
dismissed it. There were threads on this, and people dismissed it as sexist, and if some similar thing happened with Obama they would denounce it as racist. You imply some double standard where the Obama supporters let sexism go...that is just not true.

4. I wondered that myself, and figured it'd be dismissed around here.
If someone asked Obama to do something that was racially demeaning, it'd be all over the media, people here would be screaming about it, and he'd surge in the polls from all of the attention. But sexist attacks are totally still in the mainstream, and allowed.
