yes, my observation/perception that others are more likely to view a white person wearing a keffiyeh as someone cosplaying as Lawrence of Arabia, as opposed to a black person doing the same, is motivated by racial animus/prejudice, you’ve got me.

Pretty sure anyone that doesn’t already have a foot in the grave or isn’t a history crank even knows who laurance of Arabia is, and is more likely than not associate the thing with the most recent historical events associated with it. So yeah I do got you
