Do people in hoodies recieve different treatment?

I'm basing this on the amount of times I've done nothing wrong and been stalked round supermarkets by security just because I've been wearing a hoody!

:D
 
Personally, i've never been treated differently by wearing a hoodie. But I can well believe it is something that happens.
 
Well, Ive never been treated differently. Mostly because (Im guessing) I wear preppy hoodies, you know like not black and it says "American Eagle" or something. I dont think its fair that some people are treated differently for what they wear. Its not right to base people's actions on that. But, then again, there are the people that ruin it for everyone and cause people to think that hoodie wearers are bad.
 
I lurve hoodies, but I mostly have preppy hoodies. So I wouldn't really get treated differently.

But you can't just judge people by what they are wearing.
 
The reason people are getting judged because of wearing hoodies (especially in the UK), is because of the media pushing ideas that these articles of clothing are a huge stereotype. My favourite jacket at the moment is a black hoodie, but an Fcuk one, and that shouldn't say anything about me at all. It's my favourite jacket, and I don't want to be typecast because of it.
 
In london, in a supermarket, if your a kid you get stalked no matter what you wear. However on road the police see this : white kid in element hoody=harmless skater, black guy in nike hoody=offending youth;must arrest or at least search, white guy in nike hoody=harmless street yob or black guy in vans hoody=confused child.....But also it all depends on how you rock the hoody. If its 35 degrees and you got a blacked out hoody on with ur hood up, your a fool and deserve to be stopped, however if its freezing and raining and you've got yout hood up, then its aight. But I must say it really does matter what hood you wear. Sporting makes usually will lead to trouble, however richer make hoodys like gucci or something wont be attracting as much attention. And as mack said people shouldnt get trreated for how they dress. Me personally, I'll wear a hoody or whatever piece of clothing I want, when I want, Where I want.
Also police and stereotypes assume that you wear a hoody if your out to steal. Most people buy hoodys for 3 reasons. They look good, The hood is handy and thats what the majority of jumpers are nowadays
 
Me and my friends went into the local wilko, wearing hoodies, we turn around there is a security guard, trying to hide himself, went round the next isle, and another friend turned around and he was following us, another time me and a friends wearing hoodies in the local car park, waiting for a lift of my dad, we got kicked out of the shopping centre, they shoved us on a bus and told us not to come back that week. So people that wear hoodies are treated differently, just because we look like chavs.

I dont know why it all bares down to chavs. I know not alot of people apart from chavs like chavs, but theyre a fact of life. Any misfortune you have cannot be blamed on chavs. And for gods sake Im not a chav and there arent many chavs in london, but I tell you one thing, they are a hell of alot of hoodies. Normal people wear hoodies, skaters,goths,gangsters whoever, they all wear hoodies, so I dont see how you can say that "just becuase we look like chavs" lyric, because as Ive jus said everyone wears hoodies, and Im pretty sure were not all chavs....
 
Oh! We used to love this... Back in the day, it was ripped jeans and biker jackets got you the security.

We used to wind up the security guards following us by wandering around and picking things up, then putting them back again. To wind them up even more, you do it with things that there's no way you'd ever want to buy. Picking up pink girls pencil cases, copies of womans weekly, Take That CD's, flowery gardening gloves, etc, etc, etc... They follow behind and make sure you've not actually taken the item in question...

It's just typical stereotyping and there's nothing you can really do about it unfortuantely. We all make snap judgements about people based on their attire, and eventually, you get too far out of a fashion to be able to tell the difference between a style on a trouble maker, and a style on somebody who's invested lots in their appearance...
 
hoodies, I think everyoen wears them. As for different reatment, they still follow and harass us so it don't matter.
 
Like Max said, in London youths cannot be trusted. Security have to moniter the youths no matter what. Its descrimination. Everyone gets treated like they are a criminal when they wear hoodies. Its unfair. I wear one sometimes, its been too hot to wear one lately.
 
Yes..

I have recieved descrimination due to what i wear from almost everyone i know (apart from family + friends), i wear 'hoodies' because thier warm and they have a hood incase it rains, not to be intimidation or to be " 'ard " , yet i am almost looked down on and feared at the same time just because of my attire.
 
dogie325 stop bumping old threads. I'm sure you've got messages from mods telling you not to so don't. :p

And I've never been treated differently for wearing a hoody. I hardly every put the hood up anyway.
 
Hey guys, did anybody see that new Dukes of Hazard movie? Oh my god, Family Guy is back on the air.
