Totally agree!

I agree too. It doesn't matter what you say you're proud of, they'll think of something. You could be proud of poptarts and they'll call you a fatass xD

That's not what I meant.

Let's say you say you're proud to be white. People will instantly think "He thinks white people are better than black!" and since racism against black people has been so hard throughout the ages, that's just a thought people will accept without thinking anymore into it.

I have seen ones with "jesus is my homie" but never ones with islam or china... And of course, since it was christianity, and not islam, it wasn't a problem for people.....

Haha.. If you'd wear "Mohammed is my homie" the outcome wouldn't be the same... But I guess that since there are no religious "rules" against drawing Jesus or being disrespectful (?) against him, you can't judge by the same template.
