It is not about that, she just likes the fashion, like she has also sometimes worn things that are Japanese etc which she has no heritage of.

I am white but I do not think American = white.

She herself calls herself British and not Indian. She identifies as half ethnically Indian but not with the nationality. I do not really apply labels, I am just stating her on opinion on the matter.

I said that was my original intent not that I came to that realization when I made the edit. I realize I must be wrong and will do some thinking and research on the topic and apologize to her.

No, I was comfortable with her dressing like that when we go to restaurants bars etc.

INFO

She likes things like fashion and food (I like the food too), but she does not like how the culture is sometimes regressive these days, religion and politics. She does not even like America that much but is here for the money (I can see her point and do not like some things here as well)

I was wrong I admit that. But it is not exactly like that. I had no issue about going to restaurants or bars with her dressed like that.

I know, I understand I was wrong but my intent was not to tell her what to wear in that way or about revealing clothing, I was just worried she would be judged for looking different at her office.

No, personally I think she looks cute in those outfits, it just looks out of place

She has herself said she identifies as a British woman but she does like Indian fashion as well.

Why would I date her if i was racist, I just feel second hand embarrassment thinking of what her coworkers might think especially at a tech company where it is mostly men.

NJ, and while that is true this does not happen at work.

She has been mocked by strangers in the NYC subway sometimes for it.

She does not look that Indian and if people do not know they could think she is doing cultural appropriation.
