just my two cents here, I still say it is much easier for a man with "Caucasian" features <regardless if he even has a drop of Scots blood> to wear a kilt with minimum issue.
In New York city, on St. Andrews Day <11/30/07> I attended a Kilt night at the Scottish pub "St. Andrews" 44 Street on the west side of Manhattan. I walked out down to 42 street heading West. The "cat" ("nice skirt") calls from mostly Black/Latino adults, you would think they never say a Black (1/4 Scots man) in a kilt before! I guess it really shows how mean people can be. I thought I wanted to hide. I am still some what new to Kilt wearing (going on 2 years) SO i guess I my skin has a bit more to go before I get the thick Scotsman edge, my Great Grandfather was known for. I turned to one group of Black "Hoolagans" when they shouted " nice skirt", I replied "It's a Kilt!"
then, a white couple walked up to me and wished me a " Happy St. Andrews Day!" They Chatted me up a bit asked about my tartan, I was wearing my new <kilt #2> Geoffrey Tailor kilt district tartan "Hollyrood".
It think it made me more defiant! :butt: I am def planning on attending this sat afternoon's kilt night in NYC !! and I am already thinking about kilt number 3 ! :buttkick:
I am curious what you Kilted men think when you see non white men in Caledonian gear? I wish Samuel Jackson would make a sequel to his movie "Formula 51" he wears a kilt in the entire second half of the movie!
