it's not racist, just ignorant as fuck. and close minded. he's only basing his perception on what he sees on TV and in much of Black culture. educate him on the fact that not all Black people adorn themselves in "hip hop clothes".

He did not say black. But my thing is the hip hop clothes, the gangsta rap style etc. came from a reality of struggle, poverty and discrimination. And these privileged white Euro gurs just dress up like this for kiis and drinks without knowing or appreciating the context of the culture.

Now if he was 13 and just mimicking his fave okay. But these are all academic and intellectual 20 somethings, it is just distasteful IMO. But on the other hand the whole style was mainstream and crossed over the world during that time, so for the throwback factor he has a point.

it's extremely ignorant.
and it's interesting cause "hip hop clothes/style" has evolved throughout the years.

Judging all these justifications, you don't seem to be that bothered by it.

Maybe they saw what you wore on German Idol and they're assuming you still have something like that?

Well at first I was... But then I realized who he was and that he wouldn't mean any harm. But I was not sure how to feel and consulted with you a bit...

On the one hand, the thought weirds me out on the other hand it is kind of a retro 2000's party
