So why are there such hang-ups about attire?  ith:
That would probably be Italian-American food, no, they (the pizza place owners) are participating in my culture; not the other way around.

Probably from being attacked for or accused of ruining someone else's culture all the time, and pretty much most of my life. Guess it's my problem.

Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
