I don't think people should be afraid to wear stuff because they think someone is going to attack them for it. And I know this may sound a bit harsh, but it seems to be a serious crime if something like what you mentioned happens to a black guy- it's labelled "racist", but people couldn't care less if it happens to a white guy, it doesn't seem to be racist then. However, I do guess it depends on where you go, Birmingham actually seems pretty friendly compared to most other cities... like Islamic/Sikh/hindu people mix with Christian/atheist/other religions. Like in college there is a large group of Indian people- that play all the proper Indian music and talk about their religion and culture- and they have Chinese/Japanese friends and white friends. It's like me and my friend, she's a muslim and lives by her culture and religion and I'm pretty much atheist and don't live by any religious standard- I wasn't brought up in a religious family.
Anyways, I'm rambling... but what I'm trying to say is that people should be able to mix confidently- whether that is in appearance [clothing] or mentality- without others discriminating against them. Also discrimination, mentioned and shown in this thread should be seen as a complete wrong, and even get to the level where society shuns this kind of behaviour!

Or we could all just go naked

EDIT: By the way: Apparel I haven't looked around the site yet; I don't really need more clothes and other possessions, lol.
