What do you think of people who walk around with umbrellas in the summer sunshine?

Does it look weird to you?

No, it's smart. Although they'd look more chic if it were a parasol.

Yeah, I hate it, but if these people have skin problems, I am loathe to judge them.

I mostly see Chinese people do it. It's like their minhag and it doesn't bother me one bit. Why should it?

it doesn't make sense to use them to protect against the sun. doesn't black attract sun?
