I can understand that because the list reads like a profile of one particular person and having a reaction, but the fact that you can find the same language on a club flyer in Bed-Stuy (from an actual flyer: no athletic gear, timberlands, overly baggy clothes, big chains or sneakers,Strict dress code enforced - Very selective - At doorman's discretion) is what makes it not feel all that inflammatory to me. Poorly worded yes, but so long as a white dude "ironically" wearing a skin tight Raiders tee and a Yankee fitted gets turned away as well then there is no fire. But s you said a response from Hugs is the only way to get a bit more clarity.

      <![CDATA[Hey Patrice, I do recognize that this is a nuanced situation, and I recognize that someone from Hugs will eventually speak up and say the sign had nothing to do with race, and that they’re trying to keep out “thugs” of every color. And the thing is, even against my better judgment, I’m sorta willing to acknowledge their plight.
