An American clothing store chain that was in indoor shopping malls, before being indoors was mostly banned. They sell middle of the road, kind of stylish, but not too trendy or flashy clothes. Kind of generic, slightly upscale, middle class to upper middle class, boring white people clothing
Thanks, I think I understand now. So there’s a difference between the clothes that whitefellas and blackfellas buy? That’s interesting. Why is being indoors banned in America?
@@johnmoyle4195 Because we could spread a virus to someone. But, yes, there's stereotypical differences in clothing between racial and ethnic groups that don't hold true in all circumstances.
She calls George her "good friend" to her coworker in the Little Kicks episode, but it was funny how here she just refers to them as "some people I know."
And ethnicity apparently gives people a “right” to use family denotions as slang? Not black? Better not say “sister” 👌 Either all ok or none of it, anyone who disagrees can just go bitch and whine elsewhere as the rest of us could care less 👍 (though most self respecting people in intelligent conversations wouldn’t use pointless slang denotions anyways regardless of their race)
@Dander Spat Except "Hispanic" is not a race. And Spanish restaurants better be aptly named and serve food from Spain. Not from some Latin American country (I know many of these countries' cultures were influenced by Spain). But let's not confuse terms.
Seinfeld is the masterpiece of low key jokes. They were able to make lots of jokes about sensitive issues like race, religion, gender, mental illness, death, Nazis, animal cruelty, abuse, and many other things that wouldn't be acceptable today.
@@ky4864 well, on her defense, Hispanic is like in the middle of every race, black, white, Asian, etc, and as a Hispanic i am very happy that even in my own family we have a little bit of everything, I am light brown, 2 of my brothers and a sister are white, one of my sisters looks Asian, and others look black
@@alvilla701 isn’t Hispanic an ethnicity, not a race? Like you said, people who are white/black/Asian can all be Hispanic. That’s what confused me in the last scene
Yes, a lot of whites fled South Africa after apartheid due to fear of revenge/reprisal by the new majority government, so it could go either way. Either he's Black and his family left due to apartheid, or he's white and they left as apartheid was ending
It was genius the way the writers used little clues that seemed to be spot on, but turned out to steer her in the wrong direction thus keeping the race of the boyfriend vague.
There is nothing vague about him he is white he looked white especially his hair. Its just like him mistaking Elaine for being hispanic, no one would think she is hispanic just because of her last name. They are making fun of stereotypes associated with race such as blacks into rap music & whites shopping at The Gap .
Elaine does in fact look Spanish in this season, whereas she looked white in the earlier seasons. Elaine has features that enable her to pass as various ethnic races. hell, there was that one episode when they go to India, and Elaine in the cultural clothing, makeup, hair and accessories really made her look legit Indian.
"look Spanish"? If you think there is only one Spanish type and one Indian type, you need to educate yourself. Do you think you might attach too much value to the outside of a person? Handy for you to stick a label on them!
Yeah, I know what you're all saying, but still, ethnic groups tend to have an average appearance. This is why we can distinguish a Taiwanese from a Nigerian. Iberians, for example, tend to have dark hair and brown/hazel eyes with olive complexion. They can certainly vary, but that's the average.
I love the writing in this episode. It goes from something like the music making elaine assume hes black, to the fact that he says he hates it. Then he bangs on the wall loudly saying YO YO turn it down, and then elaines like wait maybe he is black again lol. Then she asks about the cultural significance of the designs and he says African making her feel for sure he is black. Then finally he says South African which could imply hes just a regular South African white dude!! Thats fucking hilarious.
Late comment, but also if you see he said they "got out for obvious reasons" from SA referring to either apartheid racism if he was black, or... Not... If he was white 🤣
It's to show the audience how deep rooted racism is in the mind of white people. How elaine instead of going with the flow like one would in any dating relationship. Like a white guy doesn't go yo,yo...yo! In the f'n heart of New York? Thus it did matter and to pretend like it didn't. To make a long comment short. The writers (imho) were saying a certain class of people are not genuine.
