It’s the USA, your business; you can set your own rules...OR maybe you can’t. There are lots of places from which to choose, go somewhere else!!

They are not allowed to wear hoodies because white people invented them? Snipped from Wiki: 19th century depiction of a 12th century hoodie or chaperon Hooded garments have been a documented part of men's and women's wear for centuries. The word hood derives from the Anglo-Saxon word hōd,[1] ultimately of the same root as English hat.[2]

To the Left, everything they don't like is "racist" (they sometimes use the word "bigoted" when the word racism seems like a stretch).

If the gender issue can be raised in anyway, the word "sexist" is tossed in for good measure.

BTW, keep in mind that calling you "racist" is not just a judgment on you. It is also a virtue signalling declaration for themselves (i.e. they are taking the opportunity to show the world how wonderfully virtuous they are by not being "racist". I'll bet it feels really good).

“No camo? I guess this gal isn’t welcome.”

She’s welcome, just lose the shirt at the door.

Last night, somebody who was wearing workboots tracked road tar all over my store floor and it won’t come off with a mop.

I am a white woman and I sometimes wear bandannas (when my hair is dirty) and baggy sweats (when I am feeling lazy). Why is this sign racist? Maybe the bar just likes to maintain a more ‘professional’ appearance? (Uh, oh, I have stepped in it now.....maybe someone will think I am trying to GROOM young people, instead of expecting them to have a professional appearance!)

[PghBaldy]

I agree. The list is work-wear or casual.

[carmen2017]

Amen.

[Leep]

Pink “brain” caps okay?

[glennaro]

... after 8 pm Friday and Saturday ... doesn’t seem unreasonable.

[Leep]

What’s the problem with work boots.

That’s ridiculous.

Not just work boot but a specific brand?

[ProtectOurFreedom]

What? Pork pie hats ARE ok? What about hipster black glasses and little beards? What about whale tails on the gals?

[pepsi_junkie]

What girl? I don’t see a girl in that picture. I guess the camouflage works.

[IronJack]

She’s welcome if she drops the camo ...

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Or loosen the shirt.

One of those rare occasions where mixing up “loose” and “lose” works just fine.

[trisham]

No problem.

[Altura Ct.]

Oh boo hoo. If you don’t like it go somewhere else. And for the love of Pete quit whining!

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

So dressing like a slob is a Black thing now?

As far as I can tell, that dress code would zero out a lot of White people, too.

[Beagle8U]

Antifa’s favorite boot is Timberland, used for stomping on their victims. Gangbangers like them too.

That must be a common sign. I have a client whose business establishment has the exact same dress code posted on the front door.
