A little decorum, please

Not exactly asking for this

From Robert Whitcomb’s “Digital Diary,’’ in GoLocal24.com

Rhode Island state Sen. Jonathon Acosta calls a proposed Senate dress code mandating that such traditional business clothing as jackets and collared  shirts for men and blouses for women  be worn in the chamber is somehow ‘’oppression’’ by white culture. In fact, such clothing, whatever its origins in Western culture, has long since become near-universal as a sign of seriousness, decorum and respect for the organizations that people work for. Just look at what people wear in international organizations.

Consider that officials of China, the ultimate non-Western power, all wear “Western”  business clothes. I don’t think that they feel oppressed by this.
