I can put it like this, I go to a public middle school, I wear my W&N Sweatshirt everyday to all my classrooms, Most of my teachers thought it was funny and my friends say that I label myself that way..
On my day off from school, I went to my old catholic school to see whats shaking and when I was walking in the halls, A teacher saw me and sent me to the principal's office and yelled at me to live.
Then when I went to a store in the Ghetto, Someone said "Thats a Weird way to show that your gangsta."
and then I just stared at them and they walked away.
But my point is It depends where you go.

My grandmother walked in peace marches with Martin Luther King, and was the first person in Oklahoma Uneversity to have a black roommate and SHE thought it was funny!!!!
I think anyone who calls someone rasist for waring a W&N hoodie is a little too sensitive...
I'm getting fairly tan, so I get some weird loooks when I ware mine however...

Wow... I find it odd that I've not heard a word from anyone about my white and nerdy hoodie (yeah I finally got it!) at work or at school, and yet I wear my army jacket which was given to me by my grandfather who is a WWII vet, and I get yelled at for supporting the war... which I don't, I was wearing the jacket to honor my grandpa, whose stories are very touching to me... Go Figure!

About that Gangsta thing, I told them it had to do with Weird Al, and they said "You're wearing a weird sweatshirt because your name is Al?" and then I tried explaining and then I saw they had something that looked like a gun in their pocket so I ran away..

Just agree with them.
"Yes. my name is Al."
What do they know? It's not like they're gonna card you or anything.
