I think they do not have all the information available on Che. During the Cuban Missile Crisis, he confided in Castro that if Cubans had control of the missiles, he would lobby that they be fired at American cities should the crisis deepen.
That would have killed tens of millions of people. As a pacifist, I cannot support that.

Because they think it's cool or stylish, or because they have a vague idea of who he is, or in a rare case because they know who he is and admire him, and they think all the other people who wear che shirts are boludos. I'm living in Argentina where a lot of people use them and actually know who the guy is. By the way, all this stuff about how he was killing innocent people is likely (I won't claim to have been there) propaganda coming from his enemies at the time... at least that's what people who were there are saying, including some of the indians who weren't on either side.
As for Castro, Che and Castro are not the same person... as a matter of fact I think the CIA, by killing Che, killed the only person who could have kept Castro from going a little too far.

I'm a Spanish major, so I see a Che Guevara shirt on some kid in my classes now and then, but it doesn't bother me since he actually knows who Che was and what he stood for. But on a frat boy? Definite smackage!

Good freaking question! Most of them don't even understand the concept of Che. Now if the ideas Che had were set forth into the American government, most of those wearing the shirts would probably not even be in college... Their career would already have taken off because the government would know that college would be a waste of time for them.

Because Che rebelled against his class (he was a rich family's son) and college kids have to rebel against something. They really wouldn't follow his footsteps. He's just a symbol of rebellion. And good looking, too. That's why they don't wear Castro shirts.

Because they are young and stupid!
Do they like Castro as well, cause their politics are the same.
Ask the Cubans if they are free to criticize their government?
Nope. They go to dissident jail!
It would be the same for Che's people if he weren't dead.

Because he was a champion of the poor in Latin America. He is won of the few heroes in history(Malcolm X) who never faltered in his honest if not always popular beliefs in a hemisphere where there is so much rhetoric, and so little truth. (i.e. the great democracy "America" has never, I repeat never supported a democratic government in the western hemisphere. In fact it has actively opposed and covertly deposed democratically elected regimes in Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, Chile, and Nicaragua, and has placed and supported Dictatorships in all of these lands.

Probably they like socialism? or guerrilla people? or something? Why don't you ask them, they should be able to tell you since they are wearing the shirts.

Because they haven't the imagination to come up with an original way to get attention.
