Priyanka Chopra in Conde Nast Traveller’s Oct-Sept 2016 cover girl! While she looks breathtaking in the pictures, it seems her t-shirt is creating a stir on the internet.
Some folks are not very happy with the words ‘Refugee’, ‘Immigrant’ and ‘Outsider’ being cancelled out on the t-shirt.
Appalling, dehumanising, privilege-strutting, racist message on Priyanka Chopra’s tee on this mag cover. @LakshmiGandhi have you seen this? pic.twitter.com/KbizRQ0LL1

Some are coming out to clarify that maybe the t-shirt has been misinterpreted!

Here’s an excerpt of the interview:
'You don’t need a house. You just need a great travel agent,' says @priyankachopra. https://t.co/0dbWYJMIgX #PCinCNT #WhyWeTravel
