The dress code, established last semester, prohibits hats without brims, baggy clothing, sweatpants, plain white t-shirts and camouflage unless worn by a member of the Armed Forces.

Whether or not you agree with the dress code, I can't see that it targets any race(s) in particular. But you know that's not what the whiners are saying. John says it best:
Add good manners and presentable dress to the list of things that it is racist to expect of minority students.
Update, 3/15/07: I've corrected the location of the restaurant. John at Discriminations answered my question:
No, not on the UVa grounds (campus). "The Corner" is a couple of blocks of restaurants, funky shops, etc., right across the street from the main grouns at UVa. Sort of a student hang-out area, but all the shops, restaurants, etc. are private.
Good for the owner for establishing what should be societally-accepted norms.

OK, but I'm a little confused on the cammies. Would the prohibition apply to veterans? I'm a vet and often wear cammies rather than jeans as casual wear--more comfy. Why would cammies be a problem in any case?
I can only assume it's because they're too informal.
