This is just a social experiment for our edification. Cafepress is a popular online store where you can upload your own graphics and have them put on shirts, hats, banana hammocks and more. I recently decided to search for the infamous “I Wish I Was Black” Tshirt and found it fairly easy.
So I wondered if anybody was concerned that it was racist and unfair to single out one ethnicity and did a search for “I Wish I Was White”. No such luck. So here it is for everyone who is concerned with equal treatment.
Songs of our land, ye have followed the stranger,
With power over ocean and desert afar,
Ye have gone with our wanderers through distance and danger, And gladdened their path like a homeguiding star.
With the breath of our mountains in summers long vanished,
And visions that passed like a wave from the sand,
With hope for their country and joy from her banished.
Ye come to us ever, sweet songs of our land. (Francis Brown)

I wonder how many people would get the joke if I wore the shirt.
