Jim Bacon highlights a UVa Top News Daily article.

Their shirts have various sayings written on them:

Casandra Bruce, “I’m graduating from the Comm School and I’m going to work in a kitchen;” Muslim student Alaa “Lulu” Buhisi, “I have Jewish friends;” Reem Ghoneim, “I am Egyptian and I don’t read hieroglyphics;” Nneoma Amadi-Obi, “I am Nigerian and I speak proper English.”

I don’t get it. The article’s title is “Don’t Stereotype:What You See is NOT What You Get” Does this mean that –now that they’ve written it on t-shirts — that what you see IS what you get? Or does it mean that the slogans are lies; that what you see and read is NOT what you get?
