Texan here. I always wear the kufi in public, for important personal reasons that are too long to discuss here, so don't tell me "just don't wear the kufi". I'm a convert, but people think I was born and raised Muslim because I'm half Persian so i "look muslim".
When some rude elderly white Christian stares at me in public with contempt, do I have to completely control my anger and walk away, or can I calmly approach them and explain to them my life story and why I think reality makes no sense without Islam? I want them to see me as an individual who used to be extremely troubled with severe issues and then got guided to Islam, not "one of those brown foreigner immigrants"

Last time this happened to me, they were an elderly white couple. I just walked away, and when I turned back I saw them talking among themselves and I got paranoid that they were having some old republican conversation like "*** darn all these dang foreigners, whatever happened to america?"

You ignore it. Who cares what they think?

No, we don't do that. When our zaahir / outwardly looks like a muslim, we can focus on the inwardly things that are invisible, baatin, like character, taqwa, intention etc.

Why don'y you try approaching them? Give them salam, and talk to them. Be a good example for the ummah. Distancing yourself will only created an even bigger confusion within your local community. But if talking to them is too much of a burden to you, if you're anti-social, saying hello/salam with a smile is enough.

If Muslims in America stopped and talked to everyone who looked at us sideways, it would be a never ending cycle. It's best to just ignore it unless confronted directly. We shouldn't care if people give us funny looks. Shouldn't be so sensitive.

Keep dressing as a muslim, don't be shy brother, be gentle with them, try to talk to them. If they are racists then move on.

So only clothes of the Arabs are permissible?

No, but dressing like the Prophet(pbuh) would have is permissible. You can dress how you choose to dress, though, so long as it is modest.
