Am I a Terrible Person Because of This?

Many colleges have t-shirts made which not only let you know what college the wearer wants to be associated with, but usually some other identifier with which you're supposed to glean some worthwhile information. T-shirts that I have seen include (Duke is just used as a random university): Duke Rugby, Duke Engineering, Duke Liberal Arts, etc. etc.

I think this is the first time I have seen a shirt, and had a serious negative reaction towards it. A girl was wearing a shirt that said , "Duke Latina".

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy some seriously wrong shirts:
Baby's shirt says: "Daddy drinks because I cry."
Shirt Says: "What Would Jesus Do For a Klondike Bar?"
Shirt Says in different colored bubbles: "Fuck the Colorblind"
Shirt with an outline of a guy that looks like he's dancing: "I'm not getting jiggy wit' it. I have parkinsons..."

These are seriously insensitive shirts. I love them. I am seriously repulsed by this racial shirt though. I don't really know why. Is it because I could be socially ostracized for wearing a shirt saying: "Duke Caucasian"? Maybe I'm over-compensating for the fact that I'm not supposed to be proud of being white. I don't know. I'm going to have to do some serious introspection though.
Some of the things that are bouncing around in my head though relate to some of the things I've been taught:

• It's not right for me to think of race as a distinguishing factor in anyone's ability to get ahead.
• I should love everyone else's differences, and applaude their "diversity".
  
• By saying that I'm for diversity, I should have a wonderful feelings just explode in my head, akin to a "morals-gasm" of overflowing love for everyone else and their differences.
  
• Because I'm a white male, there is nothing about me that could ever be considered different or diverse.
• I should feel an underlying guilt behind every positive thing that ever happens to me (because I'm a white male).
  

Maybe I should follow along and "stay true to my roots". Ah, shit. Can't do that either. Thanks Hitler...

* Duke is just used as an anonymous identifier.

I usually don't put these through, but this one hits a little close to home...

They're Taking Our Jorbs!

Reason.com has a video out now about free trade and how our jobs are being shipped out of this country. They think it's a good thing. I think it's a good thing. If we were as concerned with utilizing more efficient forms of labor, why don't we wring our hands and decry the advent of robots? Give the video a watch, it's about 8 mins long; well worth your time.
