Is b'wana dik offensive?

Question

i'm wearing a Frank Zappa's shirt with "Club B'wana Dik Only In San Antonio" printed at the front, and someone told me that it is offensive

Answer 1

You should have asked them "Why?" Because I have no idea what that means, other than the name of a club in San Antonio.

Answer 2

It sounds suggestive, I'd lose it.

Answer 3

Frank Zappa was not a racist and hated racism. I can't imagine anyone who knew him or his work thinking otherwise.

"I'm not black, but there are lots of times I wish I wasn't white".

Frank Zappa

Answer 4

Maybe they thought Dik was offensive because people a single minded.  Forget about it and wear your shirt.

Answer 5

B'wana Dik’ is a song on the 1971 Frank Zappa & The Mothers album, Fillmore East.  It's sometimes referred to as bwana dik.

The name referred to the title that each member hoped to claim depending on his success with the ladies, real or imagined, later that night.  

B'wana being a Swahili word for boss, dik being not a Swahili word for boss.  

The song explains in graphic, er, comic detail the potential for success by these members with the groupies, after the show.  

Frank Zappa’s irony was typically sharp here:  ÃƒÂ¢Ã‚€Â˜The song deals with the fact that each in his own way, each member of the group, secretly believes that he is ”B'wana Dik.”  And the song attempts to show how foolish this concept is.’  

I got this from the internet, some rock site. Anyway, did they explain why its offensive? I dont think its offensive, unless you can read Swahilli. And anyway, its saying "d**k Boss", like they are the most 'lucky' guy, that gets all the girls. Silly people, such babies, everyone is sooooo offended by everything. Sheesh! Rock that shirt!!!
