Update 10/15/12 1:30 p.m. – Gap has apparently pulled the “Manifest Destiny” T-shirt from their online store.
T-shirt designer apologizes for “survival of the fittest” comment via twitter:

“I AM SORRY FOR MY SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST COMMENT. IT HURT ME DEEPLY TO BE CALLED A RACIST AS THAT IS NOT ME. I REACTED WITHOUT THINKING.”

Gap, Inc. has officially declared that they will “no longer sell” the “Manifest Destiny” T-shirt.
Gap Inc, has been under serious scrutiny for exploitative labor practices within the past couple of decades, maybe they are just now making their intentions more clear?
I certainly don’t think a shirt with “Arbeit macht frei” would have made it this far.
AIM Socal is calling for further action:
Contact the t-shirt designer directly: info@markmcnairy.com
Contact GAP and/or write a review of this shirt on GAP’s merchandise page:
