That is perfectly understandable. You were concentrating on other things. Offensive clothing was not your point.

I admit that someone showing up in a racist sweatshirt never crossed my mind.

I would say that the host also has the right to say what is appropriate to wear to dinner. Basically, my house – my rules. The host has the right to refuse someone, including other adults, entrance into their house if they feel that what someone is wearing would make the other guest uncomfortable.

If someone is wearing a racist, homophobic, misogynic, or otherwise offensive clothing, the host has the right to refuse that person from entering the house.

Doesn’t just about everyone have at least one person coming that is obsessed with politics and determined to bring them up during Thanksgiving dinner, to give everyone additional cause for heartburn? There’s a reason our parents and grandparents told us to avoid discussions of religion and politics: they’re too divisive, especially in our current hyper-partisan era. Don’t fall into the trap set by America’s enemies, who seek to weaken us by manipulating us with inflammatory misinformation and fomentdivision among us. Thanksgiving is intended to focus on our blessings — the positives in our lives — not the negatives. Resist the impulse to get drawn into heated political debates, no matter how much “Crazy Uncle Henry” needs to be “set straight!” 🙂
