| Study finds clothing-based racist stereotypes persist against Black men - Phys.org Posted: 14 Jul 2020 06:02 AM PDT  Hardworking or lazy; trustworthy or dangerous: People often make assumptions about someone's character and personality based solely on how they're dressed. A recent study from Oregon State University finds that while more formal clothing may deflect certain racially biased assumptions, many people still hold negative stereotypes about Black men based on what they're wearing. In the study, college students at a Midwestern university were asked to look at photos of Black male student-athletes in different styles of clothing: championship T-shirts from their recent soccer victory; sweatpants and sweatshirts; and more formal button-down shirts and slacks. Results showed that participants judged the models to be more hardworking and more intelligent when they were wearing formal attire than when they wore sweatpants. "The main message is that clothing leads to snap judgments, to stereotyping," said Regan A.R. Gurung, a psychology researcher in OSU's College of Liberal Arts. While certain types of clothing such as formal attire may "short-circuit" racist assumptions, that doesn't always work, he said. "The issue here is that you've got to be aware of your stereotypes. What this paper does is it shows that even average people may have automatic responses to certain types of clothing," Gurung said. "Clearly, clothing will make a difference in some situations, but sometimes people are so racist that the clothing doesn't even make a difference." The study also tested participants' underlying racism by asking their opinion on statements like "Over the past few years, minority groups have gotten less than they deserve" and "How much of the racial tension that exists in the United States today do you think minority groups are responsible for creating?" Results showed that participants' existing levels of racism had significant influence on how they perceived the Black male models: Students who displayed higher levels of racism rated the models much lower on positive characteristics and much higher on negative characteristics. This is in line with previous studies on the subject, researchers said. Stereotypes are part of how humans process the world, Gurung said: Because we process so much information, we rely on stereotypes to categorize people so we don't have to start from scratch all the time. According to social psychology, "We are cognitive 'misers.' We try to limit how much thinking we have to do, just to survive. …And when we are tired, we rely on stereotypes more," he said. Conditioning also plays a major role, as media representation teaches us to associate certain characteristics with specific types of clothing. The onus is therefore on the perceiver to analyze their own stereotypes and conditioning and work to resist making snap judgements, Gurung said. Researchers were surprised by results that showed no improvement in perception of the Black models wearing their soccer championship shirts. "We really thought, 'Man, this should be the best category.' What's disheartening is that, even showing this clear evidence of success, of competence, it still did not shake stereotypes," Gurung said. The authors note that before extending these findings to men and women of other races, further work with models of diverse races and genders is needed. The participant pool was predominantly white, but the demographics mostly matched the demographics of the U.S. as a whole and the results align with previous studies on the subject, Gurung said. The research team is also preparing to replicate the same study in Oregon. The fact that the participant pool represented the average college student mindset was troubling, Gurung said. "We're not looking at extreme groups of people here; we're looking at a randomly sampled group of individuals. And if this is what we're seeing from a randomly sampled group of individuals, then it just scares you to think—what about people who are explicitly racist?" he said.

| Building owner starts fundraiser to help tuxedo rental tenant - Dayton Daily News Posted: 15 Jul 2020 03:05 AM PDT  XENIA — Fast Fashions Men's Clothing has been a mainstay in downtown Xenia for decades. After the store's roof collapsed after a freak storm on June 30, the owner of the building set up a GoFundMe page to try to help the business reopen. Scott Decuir's father first opened Fast Fashions Men's Clothing in 1984 and he bought it from his father about 10 years ago. Fast Fashions sells men's suits from size 36 to size 72, rents clothes and also does alterations. The roof collapsed on the altercations area in the store, but so much more was damaged. RELATED: Roof collapses at Fast Fashions during heavy rain in Xenia "No kidding, it was a wall of water, like the surf coming into the store," said Greg Bernitt, the owner of the building at 33 East Main Street. The part of the roof that collapsed was in the back of the store and water traveled all the way to the front door, Decuir said. "It looked like a river was just flowing into the store," Decuir said. Bernitt and Decuir have been working day in and day out to clean up debris from the collapsed roof since the incident happened. Bernitt said they finally got most of the collapsed area cleared on Saturday. There is no electricity in the store, so cleaning has been hot, humid work these last couple of weeks. Bernitt is hoping to rally the Xenia community around Decuir and his family. "He deserves it," Bernitt said. "He hasn't been able to catch a break." Decuir prides himself on being about to fit "almost anybody" and offering unique merchandise for his customers. "I have high schoolers who are getting their first tux to go to prom, and then I also have a customer who is 99-years-old and he likes to have a suit to go to church on Sunday," Decuir said. Fast Fashions had just reopened after the coronavirus pandemic forced retail stores to close for months this spring. Decuir described the feeling of having to close up shop again so soon after reopening, as a wave of emotion, much like the wave of water that entered his store in June. "It was like, 'oh wow, really?' It was overwhelming at first. I didn't know what to do," Decuir said. "But you have to start somewhere." Decuir said a lot of his inventory got wet or damp, so he has to evaluate whether or not it will be salvageable. Some of the items that got wet were part of his new spring line-up. Most of his inventory is currently sitting in storage. MORE: Ohio Supreme Court OKs "shoestring" land annexation tying CSU to Xenia Decuir also has two employees, a seamstress and a saleswoman, who have each been with the business for at least 20 years and also worked with his father. "The worst part about all this is our customers," Decuir said. "My customers are like my family, this is a neat little family my dad created, and we can't be there for them right now. But we're definitely going to reopen." Decuir said he never even thought about closing the store. "Oh, we definitely will reopen," Decuir said. "We love this area and we don't want to move from our spot. We can't not open." Bernitt said he started the fundraiser to try to reduce the costs to reopen Fast Fashions Men's Clothing for Decuir. Bernitt estimates that Fast Fashions will have to be closed for at least 3 months, maybe longer. Bernitt, in his GoFundMe post, said he estimates they will need about $100,000 to help pay for what insurance won't cover. "Funds will be used to help kick start Scott and Fast Fashions to a new beginnings," Bernitt said. The money donated will be used to help Decuir's two employees, replace damaged inventory and fixtures and repair the store structure. "Scott has never looked for any handouts. He's the nicest guy you'll ever meet," Bernitt said. "He's kind of a staple in Xenia." Thank you for reading the Dayton Daily News and for supporting local journalism.

| The Best Outdoor Clothing Brands to Wear This Summer - The Manual Posted: 14 Jul 2020 11:09 AM PDT When it's cold out, we don't think twice about where to go for gear. We head straight to the websites of our favorite winter activewear brands. Summer, alas, is another story. No matter how far north we travel, the punishing sun and humidity inevitably catch up with us. You can always put more clothes on, but unless you're plunging into the icy depths of Lake Superior or the Baltic Sea, there's only so much you can take off. For outdoor lovers, there's nothing worse than being trapped indoors with the AC running during a glorious summer day. That's why this year we were overjoyed to discover that the same brands we love for keeping winter warriors toasty also make amazingly functional summer wear. Here are just a few of our picks from the summer catalogs of our favorite winter activewear brands: Houdini Crux Short We fell in love with Houdini for their amazing Bluesign-certified winter shell pants. Ironic, then, that our love affair has continued as a result of these summertime shorts. We highly recommend trading in your college chubbies for the just-above-the-knee Crux Short, a flexible, breathable model made with recycled polyester. They're tough yet sinfully soft, and offer plenty of stretch for all types of summer outdoor adventures, yet somehow retain an urbane polish. Helly Hansen HP Code Zero Polo Even if you're not a polo kind of guy, this nostalgic number will win you over with its lightweight, buttery softness, and UPF 30 rating. Whether your summer day includes a sailing expedition or just after-work beers, the quick-dry waffle pique fabric will keep your look fresh, and the bold color rings on the sleeves are ready to pair with your favorite vintage Adidas sneaks. Fjallraven Abisko Cool Shirt We thought nobody could improve on the classic camp shirt. Then we discovered the Fjallraven Abisko Cool Shirt, which takes our favorite all-purpose summer look and boosts it with extra functionality. Made from lyocell, an ultra-soft, moisture-wicking natural fiber, and built with sewn ventilation holes for maximum airflow, this shirt ensures you don't have to choose between looking crisp and feeling comfortable. Haglofs Amfibious Short A hardy active short disguised as broken-in chinos — what could be better? The sleek lines fit in just fine at the yacht club, while the interwoven ripstop in the fabric makes for excellent moisture management in moments of sweat or splash. With a surprisingly lofty UPF factor and a warp stretch fabric for both durability and light weight, the shorts take the sting out of wearing pants on the hottest of summer days. Moncler The brand synonymous with luxurious, head-to-toe down coats also specializes in … swimwear? Yes indeed, and it's no less luxurious. Their core collection offers iconic Italian style, but we're partial to their special collection produced with Cape Town surf brand Mamiwata, which pairs the brand's European glam with global street smarts.
