I agree with you 100%, but those demographics have organizations whose only purpose is to deal with these issues for them. They have a large budget to pay these people to make a stink. They convince the public and anyone who will listen that there is some prejudice against there clients and do it on a grand scale. If we had a NAAKP (National Association for the Advancement of Kilted People) I'd join and support it. But this is not a "hill to dye on" over one day. Tomorrow, they won't remember it and no one else will either until next St. Patrick's Day when they pop the top on a green beer.

Wise Words
Wise words indeed from all of you. Thank you for your input.
I am less upset by my co-workers, they have seen me in a kilt for a year now (almost to the day) and we have an easy back and forth, they accept it as a quirk, but something that I do. I work as a public school teacher in the Bronx so believe me I have heard it all.
I will write a quick e-mail to the station, and deal with it as an unfortunate joke that is seen as acceptable. I still have issues with "Paddy Wagon" but that is a fight for some other day.
Thank you all for your input; I am calmer now realizing, as was pointed out, that I spoke to somebody of little consequence given the time and there will be little done to rectify the issue.
Again, thank you all for your support and wisdom. I encourage you all to have a happy and SAFE St. Patrick's day.
Kilted in the Bronx.

Sort of what I said a couple of weeks ago...
Have a bumper sticker that says:
I WEAR A KILT AND I VOTE!
...then in smaller type...National Association for the Advancement of Kilted People...
That'll make 'em think.
Best
