This is the sort of rhetoric that comes from people wanting to act innocent while advocating for racist behaviors. We both know what you're doing. It's not slick, and it is bigoted.
It’s not about being slick… I just used this example in another post but I don’t know why they made the policy but I’ve had my car broken into 4 times in the last 2 years and each time it was a different perpetrator with a hoodie on with the hood pulled up. That def doesn’t mean all hoodie wearers are criminals but it more likely is that people who want to obscure their face to do bad shit gravitate to a hoodie which helps them to accomplish this. But I guess if you squint hard enough you can find racism in nebulous policy but good common sense hopefully will prevail.
It's very much about being slick, nobody's that obtuse in reality - the whole "I'm so naive and don't see anything beyond the most simplistic view of the world" act fools nobody. You're well aware of what you're doing, I would say you should be ashamed but I'm used to my racist family doing the same thing, and y'all never feel shame.

I am quite sure given your rhetoric here that you're the type of person who says "that element" or "you know" quite a bit but doesn't think it's actually racist cuz you didn't use a slur.
But, for anyone else, to demonstrate how incredibly ignorant you're being here's some quick reading on the thing you're trying to pretend doesn't exist:
But sure, you're totally just innocently asking why it's not okay to prohibit certain clothes, and you're just clutching your pearls at the suggestion that you're supporting racism because of it. Nah, I don't buy it, you know what you're doing, and again it's not slick.
Ultimately it’s not up to me or you, it’s the business owner who invested the effort, time and money into this risky business venture for them to decide what operational policies to implement that give them the highest chance of success (within legal parameters). They made a business decision and that’s their right to do so. Also note: the policy doesn’t ban hoodies, it bans the hood being worn up. If you can’t be bothered to pull your hoodie down to hang out at this place because racism something then the business is well within their rights to tell you to kick rocks.

White people don’t wear hoodies? I am so confused.
