“Jews have no problem changing their clothes. Just look at sephardi youth in Lakewood and other towns – they wear black cylinders and fully abandoned their traditional turbans and kefyiahs (which may be a good decision in current political environment). Why are they so quick to abandon their traditions? And why are their Ashkenazi bruders not telling them to keep their indigenous traditions? An Iraqi dresssing up as a Litvish is as funny as a Yekke dressing up as a Ungarishe.”
AAQ: Why aren’t you as concerned as above, and as vocal as above, regarding the other Sefardim who have, as you put it, abandoned their traditional turbans and instead walk around without any kind of hat altogether. Better to swap one kind of hat (i.e. a turban) for another kind of hat (i.e. a fedora), which you protest, than to abandon a head covering (i.e. a turban) for nothing at all, leaving their head mainly unhatted — something you do not protest.
And on the same token, why your failure to protest the Modern Orthodox running around hatless (and often jacketless, as well), having abandoned their traditional (what you refer to as) black cylinders that their grandparents, great-grandparents and earlier all used to cover their heads.
