almaswithinalmas: ‘No More Towelheads,’ ‘No More Ragheads’ CafePress Shirts Upset Sikh Coalition (PHOTO) Members of the Sikh community are upset after finding shirts with the phrases “No More Ragheads” and “No More Towelheads” being sold on the merchandise website CafePress. The slurs, which refer to people who wear turbans, could potentially incite violence and bigotry toward Sikhs and potentially members of the Muslim community, Rajdeep Singh, the Sikh Coalition’s director of law and policy, told The Huffington Post. Singh said he recently read an article describing the popularity of merchandise with similar messages. Disturbed by this, he decided to conduct a search for himself and stumbled across the shirts.
