Just because he shorts are falling for what ever reason is still no good reason to automatically label him a gangster or criminal. Its a very offensive comment and shouldn't be made on that basis.
Ill leave the foolish people who think like that to think like that.
And as a side note, how you dress in your professional environment has nothing to do with what or how you choose to dress in your personal environment.

lol.....dude going to Walmart is not considered a personal environment. Personal environment is inside your house, or some place where the public can not visibly see you.

Stereo typing is always going to exist, no matter what the scenario. In this case: men that dress like that, regardless of color, are not going to be working in a professional atmosphere.
Come on man, if people or lets say our country don't stereo type that explain why every brown person at an airport gets stopped for security checks.
Why every Chinese, Korean, Japanese people are always considered smart and cheap.
Why Italians are considered to always be in the mob or a cast of Jersey Shore.
Truth is stereo types exist everywhere.
To me, I call it judgment. If that dude in the picture wanted to hang out with my daughter, I would say hell no. But if that dude was wearing something presentable, I would be more content. Its not racism. Clothing also displays maturity. So in my mind, I think "is my daughter with someone that is mature?" as opposed to "that dude is a thug."
Bottom line, you dress like a thug or a gangster, people are going to perceive you to be one. If you don't want to be perceived as one, don't dress as one.
