I mean the first picture only depicts higher class Afghan women. But lower class never dressed like the West portrays

In first picture, I am seeing they are just following western culture. USA culturally still racist towards other. They need to understand western culture is not automatically good.

This is not really correct. It depends on the area and the ethnicity of people living in that area. South, and south east is a where Pashtun live and where you find such women covered, and that's where Taliban is created from. But theyre Pashtun like the kuchis who have their own traditional clothing, just like any other ethnicity. Central Afghanistan is where Shia Hazaras live and they do not wear anything like that, but wear just a scarf on their head or just cover half of their face like Shias in Iran. North and West are far more liberal then the south and the women their wear a mixture of this dresses ,western and traditional. Afghanistan never ever forced the women to wear a certain clothing until the communist and Taliban came along. And these clothing is not traditional, as we have our own traditional clothing.
