In fairness, Catholics were often considered suspicious in this country until relatively recently (and there’s still some anti-Catholic bias out there, just not from where the rightwing Catholic crowd wants you to think it is from).

But to take the question at face value, I suspect (since I typically don’t really give a fuck what anyone wears or why they wear it) the answer would be the nun wears it because she entered a religious order and it is the uniform of her order; whereas the hijab is something that “every” woman of that religious tradition “must” wear.

Or, you know, racism/xenophobia/religious bigotry/misogyny (disguised as feminism)
