And based on their style of dress, just how do you think they deserve to be regarded? Please elaborate...this should be good.

It is't the dress, it's the attitude that goes along with it.

And how do European American youth dress between the ages of 12-20?
Do they walk around in ties and suits?

Of course I judge people by their appearance, dress and attitude. It would be stupid not to.

If someone purposely looks and dress's like a moron they should be treated as such..........not to be taken serious, respected or given any credibility, all of which are not very compatible with employment,hmmmmmm, maybe there is a connection.

I didn't know you could ascertain someone's attitude or any other characteristic from someone's dress.

Yes and she wanted you to rape her to. I mean the way she was dressed and she was just a tease.

I care less about how anyone is dressed but behavior is another matter. Hostile, disrespectful, harassing, obnoxious... this is a very long list of adjectives.

Answering your thread heading-- yes, antagonistic behavior not only perpetuates racist stereotypes, but is a brand of racism unto itself. Hip Hop by any other color would be called storm front boogie or KKK two step.

yup all rappers dress exactly alike. all of them. and as a result they deserve to be discriminated against. because of how they dress.

this would be a much better option for these kids, as opposed to looking like an "extra" from a "BET music video"
