Other Cultures With Kilts

[Laird_M]

Yes and first used by Europeans thinking they had found India. I haven't heard of the Asian variety complaining that North American aboriginals are called Indians.

Well, the majority of 'Asians' don't consider themselvs as Indian anyway - Pakistanii, Hyderabadi, etc, and then of course there is the distinction between the main area 'Indians' and the Singhalese, Taiwanese, etc who are cumpled under 'Asian'.

And no Eastern Asian who wears a sarong (or its various ethnic variations) would call it a kilt. Its a sarong which is a tube of material you step into, is folded into three and knotted at the front and can be as long as a 'hostess' dress. A lot cooler than a kilt, but not as easy to wear (I have three). If you don't learn how to fold the knot properly, going 'commando' is not an option...
