It's a reference to the Borat and Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

I'm an Aqua Teen Hunger Force fan (much to the dismay of my wife) but I haven't seen Borat. Maybe that's why I'm missing it. Oh well.

It's all in the attitude. Just look at Napoleon. (Just messing' with you, Nick! )

Seriously, I think you're at least partly right. Small farm communities do tend to be a little less educated and a little more closed minded. I grew up in them all my life, until recently. But not some are worse than others.

i'll show you attitude!

it also depends on what kind of community. maybe this is one a close minded and follows a book to go through a day or maybe a small but open minded about other culture than "american".

Well, when you're of European ancestory, "culture" doesn't apply. We don't have one of those. I'm not a Celtic american; I'm white- like mayo or bread. We don't get cool recognition like African- American or Latino. If those people saw a black guy wearing
they wouldn't have a word to say, other than praise.

And as a funny side note... I googled "african male fashion" and on the first page I found this:

Yes, that's Ewan MacGregor... Go figure.

Yeah...I've mentioned it before but being here in Chicago, we have a lot of men who wear ethnic clothing...lots of Middle Eastern chaps, guys of African ancestry and not a few guys who are actually from Africa who are wearing their Sunday best. Why not the kilt? In fact, most of the fellas who are wearing the ethnic clothing and I give each other that knowing nod to each other as we pass on the street...as if to say, "Hey...we know who we are...what's up with all of these other squares?"

Leaving the White Sox game yesterday (Sox lost to Denver 5-3) there was a young fella ahead of us on the ramps going down from the upper deck and he was wearing the waist band of his way-baggy shorts down around mid thigh so we could all appreciate the maroon satin boxer shorts that he was wearing underneath. Great look . Yet you show up some places in a kilt and it becomes a topic of conversation.

So who can criticize a kilt wearer?
