The Kourtney Kardashian (& Scott Disick if necessary) Thread

[labelwhore04]

The men in the UAE wear a kandura (which is the long robe), not just the royals. The scarf is a gutrah and the headband is an agal. It's traditional clothing that is mostly worn to protect them from the heat, sandstorms, etc. it doesn't have religious context (for men).

*its been awhile since I've been to the UAE so someone please correct me if I'm off-base.

Got it. I still think it's kinda odd to dress up in an ethnic groups traditional clothing for halloween? I'm not personally offended by it or anything though.

Well as a member of an ethnic group, I find it offensive/odd to dress up in traditional clothing for Halloween as well. So I'm with you.

Yup. It's just…not costume.

Scott has the best costume If there's any day not to take everything with the Kardashians so seriously, it's Halloween.

I totally do not find it offensive nor do any of my gulf guy friends who wear a dishdasha every day. They see the humour in it!

The thing is, aren't all humans part of an ethnic group?

This is much more focus on Scott than he deserves

Agreed, 100%.

I find it strange for scott to dress like that but, then again I'm not big on Pocahontas costumes either or people dressing up in Chinese attire or belly dancers.... it's just me. I feel it might offend someone.

That's mainly true,and emirati guys also were white and red ones and they sometimes wrap them around for a more casual look and yes it isn't a religious outfit.
I just don't find traditional costumes of any kind appropriate for Halloween IMO,since some people would get offended by that also he's not wearing it the right way neither the gutrah nor the agal. And the size is too big for him. I'd rather see funny or scary costumes instead.
But as I said I'm sure he didn't mean harm,he's just a funny simple guy.

All humans are in fact. lol. Some just don't necessarily identify with theirs so hence you get costumes like Scott's and people who can't fathom how others can possibly be offended.

I think intention is important. For example, I'm mostly Native American and I'm not remotely offended by people dressing up as Indians. I'm not easily offended anyhow as like I said, intention is very important IMO.

Agree with your post, intention is very important. I wasn't offended by the pics, but can see how it wasn't the wisest costume to wear. Pretty sure he didn't mean to offend anyone.
