Probably a discussion for the BLM thread but it's interesting to see where these things sit.
When someone sees a product on a shelf, chances are they are not going to be aware of who the designer was and what their intention for the design was. If they (the customer) are offended by the design, does the unknown intention of the artist somehow nullify the customer's feelings about it.
Taken to the extreme, if a black artist was to produce a tshirt that literally said KKK on it, is that tshirt not racist and therefore not allowed to cause offence because the artist is black?
As several of us are here in this discussion, I'm white british so I'm just trying to understand more and widen my understanding. And genuine apologies if my ignorance is frustrating/annoying/stupid/offensive
