Apparently, not everyone has heard that the Washington Redskins are no longer called the Washington Redskins.
A picture of a man who is presumably Native American, wearing a tee-shirt that says ‘Caucasians” across the front, went viral on Tuesday. The shirt, an attempt to mock the team formerly known as the Washington Redskins, quickly sparked a reaction on Twitter after user @infamouschar shared the pic.

Of course, the Redskins are now known as the Washington Football Team. Which begs the question of why this photo was shared now? Unless it was just for a laugh. However, if it was intended to spark serious debate by jolting caucasian people out of their alleged racism or indifference by subjecting them to the very same mascot usage that Native Americans have been subjected to, it failed.
