Urban subcultures in Asia: Making cultural statements with clothing

If I had one wish when I was younger, was my Mother not to get stared at just for wearing a headscarf, I always felt my mother was secure about wearing it and not letting anything get her down about it. When she took her headscarf off she looked like me in a way. And in our days there are children who laugh at the sight of people with head scarves on, and it is such a emotion getting laughed at just for that.

I'm not talking about racism BUT Islamic clothing which I am used to. There are so many religious forms of clothing, so beautiful we use them for religious ceremonies weddings and etc

It is not a style but a sort of way of clothing.The point of this is to say clothing comes in all colours varieties and sizes but it might not be a style, it is a cultural way of clothing and styles are almost anything except from cultural ways. But in some religions they might be!

Making cultural statements on clothing is a bit wrong, I`m not just saying wrong because I can`t think of anything except that. It is because in everyday life you see people wearing all types of clothes( A.k.A style), saying some one's clothing is bad might be a point of view not a fact if some one says that they are really judgemental or have some ego. Alternative routes are not to pay attention to the person's clothes that you dislike in anyway because of offensive material, eg KKK are the people, F* the Blues, or the persons clothing smells or looks, in a way, not very good. Making bad comments on it is making you really quite judgemental or in my term a complete a&^e.

Don't judge a book by its cover; the point of saying that is on a blurb of something it might say Dirty Neanderthals you shouldn`t flip even if you are a Neanderthal because Interestingly enough Neanderthals invented how to speak and communicate with each other in a amazing way! (Big up the Neanderthals). This doesn`t have anything to do with Sub-cultures but reflects that you shouldn't judge a person by clothing (style) and live you life instead of trying to dis another person because of how you want them to look and how you think they should look like because as I clearly stated in this paragraph you might be an "a&^e"
