Are any Jewish people bothered by the Nordstrom's Chanukah sweater?

I can’t imagine any Jewish people are bothered by the sale of this Chanukah sweater.
Who started this controversy, and who is actually up in arms that Nordstroms pulled the shirt? I’d bet a Jewish person designed it, and I’d bet a Jewish Nordstroms buyer was the one who ordered them. Just guessing.
I think it’s cute. I don’t wear clothing that says JAP on it, because I don’t identify with it, but I’m certainly not offended by it. I don’t wear diva either. The chai maintenance is clever.
A friend of mine had posted the link on Facebook and commented that she likes it. The only person bothered by it and “understanding” why it should be pulled out of the store was an Evangelical Christian. Oy. Not to pick on them, just saying she in particular has no idea what would offend Jewish people (some Christians would understand the humor of course) but I guess maybe she is offended easily? She was one of the first responders to the status followed by the OP saying, “You might not realize I’m Jewish.” Plus, every post after from Jewish people saying the sweater is not offensive, or that there finally was a cute Chanukah sweater to buy, and now it’s pulled.
