As it says on the tin, what views do Dwarves have on nonsexual nudity? Does it differ between the different groups? (i.e. shield, gold, ect.)

It depends on several factors such as what bushes are they hiding behind to peep and how much foliage are on such bushes to prevent good viewing . It does differ between the different age groups, because the older dwarves eyes are not as good, so a lot of what they're doing is imagining. Different groups also react differently, for instance, on group of hill dwarves is known for exclaiming "Hi Ho" in a high pitched voice whenever they are particularly excited.

Thank you, Thank you very much, I'll be here all week!

Dwarves barely even notice nudity -- their beards cover up everything, either way!

Acolyte Rantfiend,

I believe this is what you are looking for from Ed. It doesn't seem by my look that he differentiates between the ethnicities of Dwarves, but it this is at least a good start:

I'm not sure about any widely held attitudes concerning dwarven nudity, but the seafaring Madbeards of the tides northwest of Ruathym (formerly the dwarves of Haunghdannar) seem to eschew clothing, as well as beard-trimming (see: pages 58 and 63 of FR11: Dwarves Deep).

Better than those waify elves drinking their soy lattes with avocado toast. And don’t even get me started with halflings. There are entire websites dedicated to those folks.

Dwarves call nudity "bathing." (The wind's blowing off the dirt!)
Elves call nudity "formal wear."
Halfings view nudity as annoying. (Where are the pockets?)
There are no such thing as gnomes.
