Ignore the last aspect to this : say if I dress up as a police officer and walk around the streets and let’s say a robbery happened right in front of me, and people around told me to act on it, I’ll just tell them “Oh I’m not a real police. Just dressing up like one”.
Ignoring the law aspect on this : If I dress up as a McDonald’s worker and go to McDonald, customers there may assume I’m a worker and asked for help, or workers there may assume I’m new there, but I’ll just tell them “Oh I don’t work here. Just dress up like one”.
So same goes for if you dress up like a wh*re, then people will look at you and probably treat you like a wh*re , regardless if you’re actually a wh*re or not.
My point is, people actually do judge the book by its cover. People will automatically look at you a certain way, and treat you a certain way, if you dress a certain way.
So stop with the whole “Just because dress/look like X doesn’t mean I am Y” kind of argument. Just accept the reality of life.
The faster you learn and accept this, the better your life is. There’s nothing you can do. Just accept it. It’ll save your life.
Here are what netizens think:
- I am looking forward to dressing up for Halloween.
- When a traffic police stop you… you tell him please don’t dress like that laa. And come back tell us what happens
- The argument is so wrong. Police, nurses, McDonalds, these are uniformed staff. It is meant to differentiate from others. What u r referring to, is not uniform per se
- Ya la that’s what first impressions are for of cos the way you dress says something abt you. Unless got no money wear nothing. But that also says something la hahaha
