Oh, I don't disagree about the deal with Elizabeth in the Chinese garb. I was thinking more of the men's outfits she wore to Tortuga and then on the Pearl, as well as the outfit she was wearing at the beginning of AWE - they were all practical, fairly plain materials, but she looked both cute (to me) and protected in them. (And I was thinking of her in the black Chinese garb as the appointed captain of the Chinese junk - which as you say may be racist, but it also looked like something a man would wear, and since she was the captain, at least it was also somewhat consistent with her role. Which, consistency is a little more than we got with Penelope's character and her outfits.)
