Turbans Belong On Arabs, Prada Or Not!
In print we have a section called ‘Trend Humper’ that advises our readers which trends to follow and which to ignore: hump or dump. Well, the print editors can’t have all the fun so we offer our own contribution. There’s only a few people that can pull off wearing turbans and they usually have at least 4 names that are all hard to say. Just because it’s satin and Prada doesn’t mean you get an automatic ok. It’s bad enough that there’s so many hipsters rocking the Palestinian scarf-look, that we figured we must do our best to try and nip this one in the bud before it becomes an instant fixture on sites like this, this and this. Especially since once these trends take hold, they’re almost impossible to wash out when infestation sets in. Shit it’s been 3 years and we’re still dealing with the after effects of all-over-prints. And if people are already getting away with wearing shit like this, you just know that turban-chic is close behind. via Fashionologie

Sagian can you really be that ignorant? Yes, true, Seikhs do in fact wear turbans too, we do know the difference. But are you really claiming Arabs don’t? If so you need to knock some sense into your own head.

Saigan, you moron…Muslims wear turbans as well as Sikhs. Spell the religion properly too while you’re at it.
Man ignorance is contagious.

My name is spelled Sagian, actually. All i’m saying is, let’s make distinctions and not lump everyone together — that’s what breeds ignorance. It’s like calling all Asian people “Chinese.” Arab people may wear turbans among an array of other head coverings (Shora, Kufi, etc. — and some not at all, because they are Christian) but the overwhelming majority of people who wear turbans all the time, esp in THIS country, are Sikhs. I have friends who are Sikh, and they’re sick of people assuming they are Arabs…which happens everyday. That’s all i’m saying. I take back the “ignorant asses” comment. To the person who called me a moron, CONGRATS, you can use google!
