To think this work colleague is wrong

It's dress down Friday today and one of the guys in the office is wearing a South Park T shirt with a picture of Timmy ( the character in the wheelchair ) and the comment "I'm special" on it.

I thought the use of the word special was frowned upon these days, pointing out the differences disabled people have rather than being inclusive.

What's more, the person concerned needs to use a wheel chair for much more than a short walk.....

I dont think its wrong, its taken from a cartoon that uses a lit of shock tactics for humour.

So he wore this tee shirt well over a week ago and people are still trying to decide whether to be offended or not?

It's a t shirt from a cartoon that is meant to shock. I think you are over thinking it sorry.
