I have a friend that has a bunch of "Engrish" t-shirts from Japan. Engrish is a pop culture fashion style in Japan and other Asian countries where t-shirts in English grammatically make no sense. I always laugh when I see them. You may have remembered Mos Def buying a blue lathering jacket in Japan with "Loud, Fast, Rules" on the back. What is more interesting is the amount of Black themed t-shirts. The irony of these shirts on Japanese folks is hilarious. Furthermore, historical white American stereotypes have been appropriated by the Japanese (thanks guys). Especially in the case of the dish "Black fungus with rape". Even Black fungus is over-sexualized Japan? So enjoy and shout out to the educated Black woman in the first row.
BTW 2nd row to the left ("I'm So Fuck**g Future") is just funny. No Black association just comedy. I can see Adriel of Ill-Lit wearing that one.
Around 5:00 is when you see the jacket.
