If literacy wasn't a major problem of yours you would have read that Guyanese didn't come from that part of Africa. 

Now please walk around G/T with a loose loin cloth wiped around your private parts (not much to cover based on your own admission).  This is how your ancestors dressed upon arrival in Guyana.  You claim to have kept your culture dress like this and in fact go to the office like that.

I would love to be a fly on the wall when those Indian coders debate as to whether you are undergoing a nervous break down.  Of course they dressed in a shirt and a pants and dressing exactly as they do in India as well.

We are not saying that you should wear your penis sheath or dashiki every day, only on appropriate occasions as a ceremonial gesture in respect for your ancestors. That is what the Indo's do when going to cultural events.  The ancestral garments are not meant to be worn every day. However even at work the Indian women will at times dress in traditional garments from time to time, especially if there is a party or other social occasion.
