I read it slightly differently - if someone wears a t-shirt like that he is also maybe saying something about non-white girls - judging by the site, the t-shirts to be worn by 'jocks' and 'fratboys' (I guess they are what we in the UK call 'meatheads' and 'rugger b*ggers') and judging by the way they view and treat women in this country, it makes you wonder what they mean by it. That's all!

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?
