Bah, which nations discriminate against my native garb!
Though this does remind me of a story told by a professor I had many years ago. He was in Europe walking the beach with some friends from there (I think it was France but not clear) any ways he had on sandals and since it was a bit chilly he put on some white sox. Bad fashion but it was practical. They are walking and he kept getting weird looks from people and he didn't know why. Well after his walk his friends informed him that in local custom wearing white sox and sandals was how homosexuals would advertise they were available to other homosexuals.
