Hair discrimination

[stonerblue]

You are equating racism to abuse about hair? Seriously?

Afro hair: School bans probably illegal, says watchdog

Children should be allowed to wear cornrows and braids, new human rights guidance says.

More like forced "conformism" rather than Racism.

Isn’t forcing minorities to confirm to majority culture smack bang in the middle of racism?

Similar concept but this is more like discrimination and not racism, there's really not much difference except for the fact that racism deals with race related discrimination. For example you wouldn't call gender discrimination a form of racism.

Apparently hair discrimination isnt about its colour is about the type of hair. Caribbean hair.

Seriously if people are discriminating against peoples hair now its bloody pathetic. Just live and let live

Hair has always been a thing to control in schools, afro hair isn't either different or a special case. Sent home for your hair isn't a thing that happens to people only with afros.

My mate at work is bald he’s also getting a decent beer baby growing and he wears specs.
Therefore he’s a Specky, fat, bald twat.
I am not bald, got my own beer baby, older than him and wear specs.
Therefore I am an old, fat specky twat.

Our other mate just calls us both a pair of cunts. He’s bald.

Baldies are bad.

As the said in that classic film The Wanderers…don’t fuck with the baldies

Exactly. You can't compare the hair thing to racism. Not the same in any way or form

Girl, 14, sent home from school because of her waist-length DREADLOCKS

Chenise Benson, pictured, was sent home from George Pindar School in Scarborough after she returned following half term with long white dreadlocks which cost her father, Darren, £140.

Obviously the ginger thing isn't the same as racism, but hair discrimination has its roots in racism.

It's usually schools, companies and other organisations who have a dress code that includes hair, but it's based entirely on the type of hair white people have. So black hairstyles end up being classes as 'unprofessional' or against the rules, and then have to go through various time-consuming processes to make their hair acceptable.

I heard of one in Japan where a student had naturally brown hair, and was forced to dye it because the rule is 'black hair only.' What the rule should have been, if they have to have one, was no dye, but the people coming up with the rules couldn't imagine that anyone would have a natural hair colour other than black. It's not even malicious racism, it's just the sort of thoughtless racism where you clearly don't have any minorities involved in these decision-making processes.

Japan is one of the most openly racist Countries in the World. Doesn’t attempt to hide it, doesn’t care what the world thinks and looks down on every other race/nationality. Hidden behind a mask of politeness and etiquette.

We have to be very careful putting our values onto other cultures (Countries) because if those cultures (Countries) don't comply it doesn't make them immediately wrong it only makes them wrong from our point of view.

There's someone sat on a small hill in Kabul carrying a Kalashnikov absolutely stunned that in some parts of the world you can publicly look at a womans face, he wants to tell other cultures (Countries) what to do and how to think or label them as something they may or may not be.
