Stop selling demeaning "retarde" t-shirts

The issue

Language is how we interact with and shape our world. The words we use, or do not use, reflect how we see the world and our place within it. Hate speech has no place in modern society, and the use of a word still used to bully and harass people with intellectual disabilities as an edgy fashion statement is deplorable.

We call upon Globalize to remove the shirts from sale and apologise for the serious offence caused.
