Well, first off, I'm a "she" ;-)
And my point was exactly what I said, and what a few people said - the double standard. That manager wouldn't dare tell a Muslim woman to take off a head scarf, an Indian to remove a turban or anything else like that. It's very easy to "target" the people who are the "majority." but a white guy in a kilt? Fair game. I'm guessing a black guy in a kilt wouldn't fair much better honestly but if you went to work in traditional African clothing nope I seriously doubt you'd be brought into the managers office repeatedly.
I'm truly sorry if you didn't read my intended meaning in my last post. I did not mean to offend, merely point out that "cultural sensitivity" is often unfairly enforced in our culture. Obviously people here who wear kilts aren't going to "point fingers" at someone else wearing a traditional outfit, no matter what that tradition is.
