      Non-whites have been conditioned to wear suits to fit in with white people. They’re rewarded for paying into white culture and punished for going against it.

      The rulers of Saudi Arabia understand this and have the means to fight back, so they never wear suits.

      Everyone else is too weak/pathetic to take up the fight. They are eager to sellout.

            So if I became the Director General of Police for India, I should just wear whatever I want? In my culture, slacks and a pollo is pretty formal, so I should just run a state police force while looking like I’m on a golf outing?

        Ok, so I think this is a pretty inflammatory take. As a visible minority, I find being called “a non-white” a little dehumanizing. Despite acting like an ally, you’re diminishing a group’s (one that you may belong to or not) sense of agency.

        I think the world would be more interesting if there wasn’t a single standard for formal wear. But I’m not going to berate or diminish anyone for choosing to wear a certain style of clothes.
