The same with others of a different nationality who haven't Americanized themselves already, but the dress culture America has is pretty white in origin. It was the whites who came to this country first. We didn't adapt to dressing like the Indians, did we?

But, if you want to throw out what we did 500 years ago, then how about we talk about 2008, which is where we live. Today, in 2008, women's apparel includes pants in American culture.

slam dunk for HO.
She does have a point here. Our culture has adopted to women wearing pants. There are very few groups who do not accept this. I used to be one of those. Today I have no problem with it. As long as modesty is kept I have no problem with what many poeple wear. The immodesty of our culture I have a real issue with. When I say that I really mean the sexualization of EVERYTHING in our culture. That is a major problem and that is one that seems to be ignored in a lot of churches. They do not want you wear pants ladies or cut your hair but lets not say anything about the skin tight skirts and see through tops and the after service activities of our young people.
