I can't tell whether the people in the replies who just think it's a lazy design are too pure to notice how flagrantly offensive it is or if they're just racists themselves and are willfully ignoring it.

If you were talking to a person in real life, you'd probably have 50-50 odds. On Twitter though? It's at least 95% the latter option.

It took me a bit to get why it was racist and not just ugly/lame. It's kinda horrible, actually, because it just set off this vague "something looks...off" feeling until I realized it was pretty much a ministrel cartoon smile.

Holy gently caress that shirt is dreadful.... also it's a sad indictment that I literally didn't know that was ACH because Jordan Myles is such a nothing, stupid loving awful goddamn empty name.



Didn't he pick that name? An I imagining it or didn't he say its supposed to be a mashup of Michael Jordan and Miles Morales?

Either way that shirt is horrific and I'm not looking forward to having even more conversations with white people about how blackface is, in fact racist (thanks, Justin Trudeau!)

I mean that would be rather unsurprising since I think he might just suck at coming up with names. ACH is literally just his real initials.

Yeah ACH picked his name.

Anyway, I feel very bad for him. Conscious and unconscious racism has been a reoccurring factor in his career. When all he wants to do is entertain and be a role model for kids and stuff.

Given how quickly those shirts are made, I get it: Myles rhymes with Smiles, and that was probably the total amount of thought put into it. Hopefully that poo poo gets taken down.

I’m really trying to figure out what they were even attempting on that ACH shirt. At first I was thinking maybe the Naruto Headband he will wear, but man that shirt is bad. Like it has to be racist because it says literally nothing about who he is as a wrestler. He’s not known for a big smile or anything, so like why would they even make that if not for some racist poo poo.

Nah it is pretty clear this was rushing out a product, incompetence and unconscious racism. Miles rhymes with Smiles and ACH is known for his perfect teeth, smiling and his positive attitude. It is down to quality control, not running merch via talent and likely not having someone who is racially aware in the approval process.

hes definitely been doing his big smile a lot in the couple nxt spots he was in, but how that could go through the wwe system and no one points out that it looks like a loving sambo doll reference is baffling

No, but see this would be keeping him off TV to punish him which is totally different to keeping him off TV because they don't have any creative for him or he's "not ready for TV."

I suspect NXT didn't get back to ACH about this issue as Triple H signed off on the shirt(s).

It isn't a defence of Triple H but he probably was given a couple of pages of new shirts glanced it over once without looking at the shirts individually. Then went back to stroking his beard and blaring Motorhead in his office.

I was thinking about posting this same thing. J-Ru can we get a Cornette Quarantine thread? If people want to still give him clicks and attention despite the racism/homophobia/transphobia/misogyny that's their choice just keep it confined there.
