>"walking while hispanic"
I'm hispanic, Puertorican to be exact. Guy seemed to be dressed like a hoodlum in all images I can see in the article. I get nervous when I see people dressed like that here in San Juan, and he definitely would have seemed shady wandering around in a park, alone, dressed like that.
Sure, maybe it's not tolerant to judge someone like that based on what they wear, but at the same time, I can't fathom why an innocent would insist on literally dressing like a gangbanger.
- viiralvx 11y agoOrrrrr, people can dress however they like without the fear of getting assaulted by police, sexually assaulted, etc. What a close-minded and dangerous view to have, attaching one's perceived morality to their clothing.
- swampthinker 11y agoAre you serious? It's a fucking 49er's jacket and some black pants. That's nowhere near close enough to be considered "dressed as a cholo". It's the fact that some white transplant saw a Hispanic guy wearing a bomber jacket and Snapback hat, and decided that was a suspicious look. That's frankly " walking while Hispanic"
- raldi 11y agoWhy do you omit the part about him carrying and allegedly pointing around an object that looked just like a handgun?

- nkrisc 11y agoWearing 49ers jacket and hat in San Francisco is dressing like a hoodlum?
- mooseburger 11y agoBy itself, no. Were the jacket and pants oversized? How did he style his hair and facial hair? Lots of ways to signal "I am a thug", even if you aren't.

Can I judge you based on this statement? Note: I am judging you based on your attitude not just how you look, therefore it is not prejudicial. Seriously, why should it matter what someone wears? You may not be friends with them or date them.
