Is It Offensive To Wear A Dashiki If You Are White? by Peacefulplace: 8:06pm On Mar 13
Me and my husband live in Nigeria. I traveled over from Australia to be with him. I saw people selling dashiki at the markets and thought they looked very comfortable. But I did not know that wearing it could mean something offensive In Nigeria if you are white. Should I not wear it? I don't want to disrespect anyone

It is not offensive, in fact, I love seeing other races adorning our native attires.
