ARGH.
Jacob fucking go away if you're going to be a hypocrite. You say that prejudice against people who wear hoodies is wrong but then you display an equally awful prejudice against people who wear baseball caps and teenage black kids who wear urban clothing. They're just a subculture - granted the subculture has a lot of gangs in it who glorify their crime by saying that it's part of their popular culture but the fact is that it's not. But for the most part it's just young black kids who look up to their idols and peers, and associate with them and their culture by wearing the same clothes. When was the last goddamn time you heard a news report about a black kid who was dressed like freaken 50 cent who killed anyone? Or vandalised anything? Or robbed an old lady? You barely EVER hear about it. If it all. In fact I've never seen a single black kid on Street Crime UK, and the number of times I've seen that stupid show because there's been nothing else on probably outnumbers the times you've got laid.
Now compare that to spending 30 minutes watching one of Sky Digital's programmes about british crime... how many of them are white chavs? ALL OF THEM? OH THERE'S A SUPRISE.
Yes, chavs wear baseball caps, but you know what? Statistically, the majority of UK teenagers dress like that. Now when you get a majority group of teenagers, then of course that group are going to be the largest group of teenagers responsible for crime. Baseball hats are just the style, they're not directly linked to causing crime, so do you think banning them will just stop the crime? NO. You'd have to be deluded to think that. All that will happen is they will just take their hat off and THEN go steal things. You can outlaw clothing but you'll never bring a stop to human nature, because human nature is dictated by the people not the clothes.
Chavs aren't the only people who wear baseball caps. Skaters, surfers, extreme sports junkies, even golfers, sunbathers, and several famous people. You can't just label them "the lower order" because they're wearing a fashionable article of clothing designed to shade the face from the sun. It's clearly rediculous.
