Somebody help me sort this out in my own head:
DH is a massive Formula1 fan, so I end up watching and knowing far more about v fast cars than I ever would if I lived on my own.
LH wore a V Long, V Wide and V Bling gold necklace before the race while being interviewed - it was so huge and in-yer-face that we both gasped and grinned.
Now, accepting that LH has been a bit of a pop star of the racing world for some time (those earrings!) what I cannot figure out is whether my thinking 'OMG, how ostentatious and in very poor taste" is a snobby thing to think, no accounting for taste, he can afford it etc etc, or whether DH thinking "That is a cultural thing to wear" is rather a sweeping statement and racist as in "Black people like bling jewellery".
Any thoughts? Has anybody else even noticed the blardy thing?
