And that is absolutely fine. There are Christians who find that reference to Jesus to be offensive, just as there are apparently Phi Mus who find that reference to their mascot to be offensive.
What's more interesting is how that mascot is now a brass rubbing "homeboy" and Jesus is now a big nosed, crinkly haired "homeboy."
LOL @ the "Jesus Is My Homeboy" website claiming that the tshirt was designed without a race, creed, or color and that it was a neutral image that everyone can identify with. That's as much bullshit as the Eurocentric images of Jesus being neutral without race, creed, or color. Anyway, people just need to be honest. If you wanted a darkened Phi Mu mascot for a tshirt, just say so. If you wanted a darkened Jesus for a tshirt, (regardless of how Jesus really looked and whether there was ever a "Black Baby Jesus"), just say so. Quit the bullshit. LOL.
