Overpriced, watered-down hipster fashions purveyor Urban Outfitters fielded a slew of criticism recently by describing the color of a shirt as “Obama/Black.” Side note: the shirt actually looks sort of gray, so someone in the marketing department is apparently not only racist, but color blind too.

The clothing company pulled the shirt Monday morning without comment.

Are we ruling out the possibility that "Obama/Black" for a gray shirt is a commentary on Obama's half white, half black ancestry?

what if its a reference to his hair color? would we be upset if they come out with a color and named it "Conan"?
