Fam_Fam 09/19/19 7:13:15 AM #52:	ssjevot posted... I think a lot of times Americans use race to refer to culture. And this creates a lot of the disconnect between the sides. Like this is clearly meant to discriminate against a culture predominantly associated with African Americans. It's a type of cultural discrimination. One of the main reasons I think this is the case is you often here people on America saying someone or something is racist against Muslims. But that's objectively not possible. Muslims can be and are of any race, it's a religion. What they mean is someone is bigoted against Islamic culture. But racism is used kind of as a catch-all for bigotry. So in this topic you have people going this isn't racist because it doesn't target skin color or any other actual racial aspect of a person. Whereas others say it is racist because it discriminates against a culture predominantly associated with a given race. This disconnect between what racism means seems to be the root cause of the divide here. this is a valid point. but also, something can be racist (designed to target a specific race) even when the language does not call out that race explicitly. Just because that group is not 100% of who is targeted doesn't mean that the rule doesn't have a racial bias attached to it, predominantly targeting certain groups. Stop and frisk, for example, was deemed to be racist, even though the policy obviously doesn't say "frisk black people for weapons to get them in jail" <cite>Fam_Fam posted [p:927649094] in Restaurant...

My cousin runs a restaurant similar to this one with fine dining prices, and they permit casual wear all the same. Hell, he'll show up to work wearing a t-shirt and pants that look like pajama bottoms. So the problem isnt casual wear, its sloppiness.

If they wanted to go fine dining, they could have just simply banned casual dress across the board, but theres a reason things like cargo shorts and flip flops arent on that list </quote> Exactly. People pretending to not see it are either incredibly sheltered or incredibly disingenuous. </quote> Or tourism restaurants know better than to exclude everyone from out of town by banning all casual wear.

Timberland boots that look like they've been through a battlefield and caked full of mud are definitely sloppy; nobody wants to clean up after that shit, especially if they still have wet cement on them.
