apushatayid,
What do you believe that statement is?
I don’t think there is yet a clear statement. It just stands out in some places. That is why the issue of wearing jeans brings out the righteous indignation of “don’t judge a person based on his clothing!!” whereas all would agree that a person sporting a mohawk and enough facial piercings to set off a metal detector is certainly making a statement. Even though the “don’t judge a person based on his clothing” would equally apply.
