So the job updated the dress code. Maybe it's just me, but it seems like the dress codes always seem to push back against the hip hop culture. The culture sets the trends but there's always this disdain for it even though it's the most popular genre in the world. Now business casual doesn't include athletic shoes. You can watch any award show and probably see a suit or a dress even being worn with a pair of Air force 1's or Jordan's. Go to the individual websites and you'll see a section for lifestyle shoes. The original purpose doesn't matter. We made it cool to wear them in any occasion. But now it's a problem. The real problem is the lack of diversity in the people making these decisions. Not understanding that nobody is playing basketball in Jordan 1's. Or that we'd rather walk like Frankenstein than get a crease in our Air Force 1's. Or that some kids are born wearing Reebok classics. One day I hope this isn't even a conversation. But right now it bothers me that this is still going on. We all know what this attack is really based on. I'm not going there yet.
