so- modcloth.com is one of my fav clothing websites....but I'm not so sure I can get behind this most recent addition.
I'm hoping that their fashion editors aren't familiar w/ the world of white supremacy, but the name of this shirt, "Don't H8, Appreci8 Tee" makes me think otherwise.
For those of you who aren't immediately horrified, I recommend you google this shit.

so- they took this shirt off the site. I wonder how many other people commented on this? How embarassing for an otherwise pretty awesome site!
Hi, Sticky!
We appreciate you pointing this out to us! We were not aware of the connotations, and most certainly did not intend on that meaning. In fact, the tee is from a Korean designer, POL, and in Chinese Mandarin, "88" is shorthand for "bye bye." I've updated the tee to ensure that this is the only meaning that comes across!
Again, thank you for your vigilance! It's awesome people like you that help us make the site even better. :)
