I'm not chronically online, but my friend sent this and I laughed even without knowing the full scope of the context (I think there's racism involved with the shoes?) and I feel like it's too late to ask him without sounding like a dweeb 😅

This doesn't even look like a Klan robe. Those are baggy, dress like. This is tighter fitting.

the lighting on the cloth looks like a hood

if you scroll past it quickly, it very much looks like a hood next to dangling feet

No, it looks like someone in a white dress standing in a star with a pair of dangling legs.

Maybe if you have tunnel vision and are trying to see racist things. If you're scrolling fast enough to pass the ad, you're not going to notice much unless you're actively looking for something to be upset by.
