February 17, 2012 (Fremont, CA) – The Sikh Coalition urges consumers worldwide to sign our petition to CafePress, demanding that the company stop selling racist t-shirts that promote bigotry against Sikhs.
CafePress, Inc. is based in San Mateo, California and is one of the largest online retailers in the United States. Sadly, the company website offers for sale a pair of t-shirts that say “No More Ragheads!” and “No More Towelheads!” These racial slurs are often used to disparage the Sikh turban and have been used against Sikhs in the context of hate crimes.
If you believe that CafePress should remove these offensive and dangerous products from its inventory, please make your voices heard and sign our petition today.
