Thanks very much for such an insightful piece.

I completely agree with the views expressed in the article. If you are from an ethnic background in a white dominated society, you’ve got to stand out and the two ways are usually speech and appearance…

It is every bit as true in a class ridden society that i was born (United Kingdom)into as it is in the United States of America.

That’s to say that despite my socialist pretensions, a vast majority of my articles of clothing reflect the fetishization of commodity…

I wish it wasn’t that way, unfortunately…
