Is it a sweatshirt or a jacket? - Lemmy.World

I have always called a light top with a full zipper to be a jacket, however the people I’m surrounded by insist on calling it a sweatshirt. I’m prepared to be wrong, just wondering if I’m the only one.

The tag on the one I wear says sweatshirt on it.
Does anybody else feel guilty being suspicious of anybody in a black hoodie with the hood up? - lemm.ee

Specifically because I live in a hot climate, I’m always fighting the feeling of being suspicious of anybody I pass in the streets with a hoodie pulled up. I feel guilty because of racial profiling associated with hoodies, but gotta protect myself and my family, especially because in many cases the perpetrators of assault and murder seen in media are somebody with a hood and/or mask on.
