Back in the groovy 60′s we were not concerned about what you wear. Perhaps we were less evolved and should have known intuitively that our race or color of our skin should dictate what we can and can’t wear in public. David Naughtbrit tries to connect the dots and make sense of it all. Many questions that need to be answered before we can move forward. Enjoy.

Synopsis of the video:

This guy raises several thought provoking questions in light of the Portland Oregon Burrito restaurant that was bullied out of business (woman owned no less but also not Latino). Also the bullying some white women are getting if they wear, get this…. hoop earrings.

Will this sort of thing go over in New York City in regard to Non Italian owned pizza restaurant owners.

Does Yelp list the ethnicity of restaurant owners? Probably not. You may need to call to inquire if the owners that serve ethnic food are white before you eat there.

How about a restaurant in Paris with non Parisians working in the kitchen?

What’s up with Latinas and hoop earrings? Everybody was wearing the them in the 60s.

Hoop earrings go back to BC times.

Could it be that people crossing the southern US boarder will tell us what not to wear and not to sell when they get here?

Sharia law may very well be the thing women will be subjected to in regard to what they can or can not wear.

Little white kids who wear a non white Disney character costume at Halloween are not trying to be oppressive and disrespectful of another culture. They just want to dress up as their favorite character.

Is it ok to be white and own a burrito restaurant if your wife or husband is Latino?

If you are a fair skinned Chilean are you immune from harassment over these issues or are you just too white? How about if you grew up in a predominantly Latino culture but you are white?
