All my black friends called me white washed and all my white friends couldn't believe I shopped there. What the heck?

wow, your friends sound very rude and discriminative. Who cares what they think? Wear what you want, it doesnt matter where it's from...

Ugh even white ppl give other white ppl a hard time. It's for preps usually and kinda a waste of money. Probably some sweat-shops are producing it for like a nickel and then selling it for $50. But dont worry what every1 else thinks. DO what you think is right. Peace.

I have a friend who is native american. on the reservation, alot of people are sort of shabby, meaning that they dont care much what they look like, or what they wear. when she came to college, she started wearing make-up and wearing name brand clothes. her old high school friends from the reservation stopped talkin to her, and called her white behind her back, just because she started to care what she looked like!
In answer to your scenerio, I have seen lots of nonwhite people wearing name brand clothes, including ambercrombie, although i have mostly seen them wearing paco, jnco, and another brand the name of which escapes me. but i think that people just see abercrombie as being a "white" brand, because most of the models are really buff, sexy, white people. Kinda dumb, huh?

Take it as a compliment. i'm sorry it makes you experience shielding, and hurts you, even with the undeniable fact that it is relatively their situation if once you dress a undeniable way they could insult you. have you ever insulted somebody by way of fact they watch a undeniable television coach or study some books (Twilight, in keeping with possibility)? properly, I positioned up to you the guy who's doing the insulting is the guy who relatively has the situation, and the single being insulted is in plenty greater useful shape. Oh, and West Hollywood isn't a bad place in any respect. :)

Because it's a expensive store. I understand what you are saying though..my daughter was getting slack for not having "converse" sneakers and "aeropostale" clothing all because we now live in an upper class neighborhood.

Because people are ignorant. Dont worry about it, wear what you want to wear, be original, a trendsetter, a trailblazer, and they'll follow...theyre sheep anyway for assuming you should dress a certain way, so they'll follow you soon enough, you'll see.

With abercrombie comes a huge stereotype "preppy white kid" comes to mind at my school anyways. If you're not a prep, then you probably dislike preps (your friends), therefore dislike abercrombie

Beats me. What is it about Abercrombie and Fitch that says "for whites only?
