White Boy

Recently, it has become more and more common to see good-looking white teen boys walking through town shirtless, no matter the season, circumstances or weather. This new fashion trend reflects slow but intense landscape transformations in the dynamic society we live in. It all originated in a decision of the local government to impose mandatory shirtlessness to the many white youths sentenced to perform more than three months of community services for petty verbal offences infringing the new Racial Correctness Speech Code. Pretext of this decision was the necessity for the relative tattoo on the boys’ chest to be clearly visible at all time during the period of execution of the sentence. (The mandatory tattoo has the letters SL-VE, meaning “Servant Labor - Volunteer Element”, displayed prominently above the left tit of the boy. Conspiracy theories circulating in white circles claim that the barred acronym had been chosen because it was easy to change it into the word SLAVE in case the boy would be later lured into real slavery.)

Following that decision, a few white boys who have never received sentences began also to walk shirtless in town because they seemingly thought it could add to their bad-boy image. Then quickly fit white boys persisting to wear any kind of shirts began to be perceived as pretentious or poseurs even by some of their peers of color, and to be frequently harassed and insulted in the streets by gangs of Black boys. Since for ecological reasons it has been forbidden to white parents to drive their sons to school in their own car, white boys can only walk or take the bus (which until recently had been used mostly by Black youths), so the incidents became more and more frequent. Only not-too-fit, weakest, very inconspicuous or very young white boys were ignored by the Black bullies and continued to wear shirt or now more generally simple white cotton tee-shirt.

More and more white boys who understood their good look and popularity made them primary targets for such violent attacks, or who had already received beating after beating for their dress misbehavior, abided by the new youth dress code of shirtlessness. It made by contrast the small resilient minority suspect of trying to take a political stand through their choice of clothes and convey a message hostile to Black affirmation. Consequently, the pretty boys still daring to wear shirts infuriated even more Black youths particularly sensitive to any form of racial discrimination. Attacks became slightly less frequent but even more violent, disrupting street life and public transports and generating protests from Black parents. An official enquiry came to the conclusion that these attacks were continuously happening because laws give too much freedom to white boys when it comes to how they dress.

New legislation in line with the recommendation of the official enquiry is in preparation and should come into force in 2017.
