Myself, I don't find anything amusing about the fact that Raphael is Asian and he wears a kilt when he feels like it. It's simply part of his wardwrobe. We also have African-American members of XMarks that wear traditional Scottish Kilts. Personally, I think the kilt has reached a point wear it transcends race and national boundaries, but will always have it roots in Scotland.

Back to the subject of the thread. I'm still passionate about kilts. I hope I never completely loose that passion. That said, I don't push kilt wearing on anyone, and certainly respect Raphael's feelings as well as others that it is just one of many bottom garments in their wardwrobe. I think we all have somewhat different personal feelings about our kilts - nothing wrong with that.
