Not in the least. It would be a comment on a form of dress, probably quite justified, that was just that. A comment. It would become racist if you were to include something promoting hatred against some frum man, woman, or child but to simply say something along the lines of wearing a (VERY) expensive hat* makes him look like a Tesla coil on legs would not be in the least bit racist 'cos apart from anything else it's true. * The big fur trimmed hat is called a "Shtreimel" and is customarily worn by married Haredi men. They cost a bloody fortune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to say I feel sorry for the kids, any kids, who have to dress in a religious way. So you were discriminated against on the island, presumably on both racial and religious grounds? I'm a bit surprised to hear that as I suspect you were born in the forties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well actually for me it's now about our traditions and proud history 'cos I'm wall to wall secular. Strictly Pastafarian! And yes, I was born in 1945.

Pastafarian and the FSM seems to be really taking off in New Zealand. It must be all the pastoral farming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't she probably pretty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
