Gap 'Manifest Destiny' T-Shirt Pulled After Huge Outcry

The people have spoken. After receiving a flood of complaints and a petition for removal, Gap has pulled a T-shirt reading “Manifest Destiny” from its shelves.

Resulting from part of a collaboration with GQ magazine, the black-and-white tee seemingly referred to the 19th century term used to justify westward expansion of the continental United States. Yesterday, Gap finally released a statement regarding this “historic mistake.”
