I don't believe that you don't actually understand the difference between "shoe or shirt color" and flashing hand signs for a photo.

Read about the Bloods and Crips in the '80's, '90's. Schools were banning wearing red and blue because those gangs had hijacked those two colors. Anyone not in those gangs would take care to not wear anything containing those colors.

The op is not wrong for supposing it's possible for someone to be targeted due to wearing "shoe or shirt color".

Yes, of course there are exceptional contexts where clothing color can indicate gang/clan/politicl allegiance.

The topic was "amazingly-broad generalization".
