hmmm ever notice that some races (mostly just black and white)seem to be restricted of how far their fashion can go? for example whenever a white kid whore any hip hop clothing like Fubu, SthPole, SeanJohn etc. he would be called a whigger and wannabe black and all that shit(at leats at my school) . matter of fact i have a friend who went through that now he dresses punk rocker like. same goes for black people. whenever a black kid wheres any prep clothing like lets say A&F or hollister he'll be ridiculed, called white and all that. like once this kid(who is black) named Teddy at my school ( yes teddy) wore a collared shirt with the collar up and this kid i know Nick (who happens to be black) is all like "man put your collar down thats white people shit." i was like oookay wtf.
so thats what i mean by restricted, is one type of clothing meant for on race and another type is meant the other? A&F would be called "white people clothes"
FUBU would be called "black people clothes" hence the for US by US.
What do YOU think?

I know a kid named Teddy too.
It's liek that here. I dont really care, but it gets annoying sometimes.
&i dont mean to sound rude or anything. and it may just be me, but have you ever noticed that a really big black girl can wear tiny clothes and still look good, but a white girl cant?

&yeah, kids pick on other kids for dressing how they want if they dont approve.
its stupid.

it's all just stupid stereotyping; people need to be less self-conscious about what other people think.

I have a friend named Cathy and she's asian, wore an Abercrombie shirt to school and all the asians were like, "Why are you wearing whites' clothes?" Well then again, Abercrombie did get sued for only hiring white people, but whatever.

Hmm.. We don't have that kind of conflict at our school or at least not yet. Have quite a few racists, but I'm getting off the subject.

People should be able to wear watever the f*** they want to without people saying that's white man's shit or stop acting like a wigga.

i messed something up

lol ur not offending me

exactly -- it's ALL about stereotyping these days

its like that here too. some of my friends are all like "why you wearing white clothes". im like "baka.. " haha sometimes people say chucks are white too im like i didnt know that hahaha

yea i have noticed that *twiches at the word "black"* *cough "african-american" cough* but there lot of "white people" *cringe* *cough "caucasian" cough* who wear FUBU and stuff but it looks kinda weird lol

I dont see anything wrong with a white person Fubu, SthPole, SeanJohn. I mean really, whats the the problem. The only time I have a problem is when they call themselves trying to be gangsta with it. For some of them its like man you grew up in the suburbs, give me a break. Same goes with black people dressing prepy, punkish. etc. I dont see what the big deal is. Me, personally I dont care about all of that. I try to stratch the surfice and get to know the person rather wasting time judging them on how they dress.

a lot of asians wear abercrombie in hawaii.

yea. there's this one kid in my school who dresses in clothes "made for black people", and people call him "whitey". he doesn't really care though. like, he probably grew up in a place where that was normal for people to wear.



that's a good philosophy. of course, not all white people grow up in nice suburbian settings with perfect families......

Sammi did you read the "some" part. I know all to well not to label everyone on the actions of a few.

i dont think that people here get made fun of or anything like that if they dress different than their race normally would but, hardly anybody does dress differently.

At my school, the things you wear, has to match with your music&the way you talk. It really sucks.

i mean it is kind of weird seeing a black guy/girl wearing a lead zepplin shirt and vice versa for a white guy/girl cuz the stereotyping is like programmed into our brains but oh well ppl can wear what they like its AMERICA

I think that's ridiculous. People shouldn't be restricted by their race on how they dress. You can wear whatever you feel like wearing. But I have noticed that certain ethnicities wear a certain brand or type of clothing, so I think people are just used to stereotypes.

wow thats just wrong. i heard that Tommy hilfiger, the guy who created the bradn said htat if he knew so many asians were going to wear his clothes, he wouldnt have designed it.

that's stupid. do these (disgracing and brainless) asians expect us to trample into school wearing kimonos or what?

i don't have a problem with what someone wears as long as it's appropriate and as long as it doesn't decide who they are.

well, i certainly expect asians to not buy from a store that has a history of discrimination against all but whites.

no i dont notice it. it doesnt happen at my school. it's just stereotyping, but it doesnt mean that you have to follow stereotypical fashions. and "restricted fashion" only comes when people care about what others think about them.

Hmm. I don't really see much of that here. It's uncommon to see black people dress in, say, my sense of fashion, but I think it's really neat. I guess for myself it's unusual, too, but oh well. I agree with mzkandi on this, though. Like Sammi said, it's sad that people don't follow that philosophy.

Eh, I think it's stupid. I agree with sadolakced acid, however.

But I like some A & F clothes, simply because of the quality. I like their hoodies as well. They're comfy.

But back on topic: The reason people say things like that is because of the marketing schemes. Brands like Fubu, SthPole and Sean John are being marketed to African-Americans, whereas A & F has more of a preppy feel, and is being marketed to Caucasians.

Oh, and BTW, Fubu stands for "For Us, By Us." Fubu was founded by an African-American, so it's an underhanded mesage saying it's made for African-Americans, by African-Americans. Oh well, I don't wear Fubu, anyhow.

omG evan i cant stand nick. he thinks he looks good in his clothes, when he is drowning in them. man he's just mad cuz, he knoes he wont look right in any other types of clothes. haha yea but i kno wut ur sayin, cuz we talk about this all the time. i think that ppl should just dress in wutever makes them feel comfortable.

love ya lil cuZ
