forget the "coon" sticker...
Some are accusing “The Walking Dead” of being “fantastically offensive,” but it doesn’t have anything to do with the gore featured on the show during Glenn’s and Abraham’s deaths.
It’s about a T-shirt.
International clothing retailer Primark has reportedly removed a “Walking Dead” T-shirt from its store after complaints it was “racist” and “offensive.”
The shirt features a baseball bat covered in barbed wire and the phrase “Eeny meeny miny moe,” which on-screen baddie Negan said as he picked out a victim on the Season 6 finale. On the show, the line is followed by “catch a tiger by his toe.”
Though the rhyme has an unclear history, some earlier versions did include a racial slur, as “tiger” was replaced by the N-word, which is what caused the complaint.
