      I read that a more apt metaphore would be a shirt that says Paleface, with a skinny white dude on it. Cause this shirt actually goes hard.

        I see ‘paleface’ more as a response to something morbidly shocking versus ID’ing a group of people. Similar, if the original were ‘redface,’ it would be being uncontrollably angry.

        Wouldn’t swapping in white to have whiteskins, fit better?

      “red necks” is usually referring to a specific lot of folk, whereas the original context (of what this is poking at) “referred” of an entire group of people, so saying “caucasians” is more 1:1.

      We all know they’d eat this up.
