It's a meme they're trying to establish. It means whatever you want it to
mean.

I've always gotten the impression that when it came to ethnic and racial
differences, it's bad cricket to make fun of people of color, or 'white'
people who have been treated badly, like the Italians and Irish. But affluent
white people from America and Europe are fair game.  I'm not saying that I
think anyone should be ridiculed based on a stereotype, just that making fun
of the traditional oppressor groups doesn't sting as much.

I don't think a booth at Movement selling "i'm sick and tired of black girls"
would have been very well received by anyone, black or white.

So perhaps "I'm sick and tired of white girls" is a critique on stereotypes
and prejudice, presented with some humor. If a white girl wears it, is she
expressing self loathing? If a black or hispanic or asian girl wears it, is
it jealosy? If a black man wears it, is he saying he's down with sisters
exclusively? If a white man wears it does it mean he's made a sexual fetish
of skin color?
