So I was taking with my girlfriend. She was talking about inviting her friend for a New Year’s Eve party at her house. The dress code is plaid (idk) and my gf proceeds to say it might be awkward actually.

Her friend (who is Black) says she doesn’t wear plaid because it is racist.

She said her friend said that plaid had roots to slavery

Now I’m in shambles between laughing and googling to make sure I’m not ignorant.

Been googling for a minute and can’t find anything.

So please KTT help me. Is plaid racist or is this racist talk some twitter tier cap?

I mean rednecks wear plaid but ion think the pattern itself is actually racist lmaoo

plaid may have had racist undertones at one point but not now. your friend sounds like they are trying to be woke, and while that is good, to protest wearing plaid is very stupid, and makes her look stupid (im sure they are not)

plaid as in the style or is it some company

Foh

this man wears plaid

As in the style. Like flannel shirts

What in the f***

What the f***

tell her fight on, but she’s tripping on this one lmaoo

fantano stans in shambles

he's been exposed

That’s exactly what I was thinking. Really curious to hear as to where she heard that from

I’m more shocked about someone thinking it’s a good idea to have a plaid themed party than this racist nonsense lol

I like my red and black coca cola plaid button down

plaid has been historically known to oppress graphic tees

idk about that

No

everything would have had an attachment to anything. By this rationale literally everything is racist if I'm interpreting her correctly

The friend sounds ed

Plaid hard, you tryn give up plaid to appease some bs? No sir Ik u not

stay woke I guess
