I tend rock a similar look to Stallman and the sad reality is that people don't look at you favourably either way. I frequently get odd looks by people when out for a walk and I get stopped quite a lot by the police (I am White and live in the UK).
Simply putting on a clean shirt, some proper shoes and having a shave does wonders in this regard.
That is the reality of it unfortunately.
EDITED for clarity.

- crocko 6y agoIt is simpler than that. Looking clean and tidy tells other people that you take care of yourself, which is a minimum indication that you are competent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oqp5zI4Ng_s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oqp5zI4Ng_s
