Have you guys seen this "dreadlocks girl" from SanFran U?

[MiniDoom]

I thought dreadlocks were originally an Indian (south asian) thing?

 

[UglyCasanova]

when you stop bs'ing and admit that racism is still alive and well in america, and actually have a conversation about it. a real one. then find a solution.

in the meantime stop stereotyping other cultures and then profiting from said cultures identity (i.e dress style, hair style, music style, etc).

No way this is a serious comment??

Bad acting is bad.

Nope, although it is part of their culture as well.

Funniest thing I've read this month.

well from this incident i have now learned a ton about dreadlocks. Who knew that they were used by so many cultures over such a long period of time.

Never know what info you need if you ever make it on Jeopardy, bro.

At the end of the day, it's just dirty hair. Why someone would be proud of dirty hair is beyond me.
Has anyone claimed stinky feet or halitosis yet?

Watch the videos in the thread, especially the explanation video.

No one is pissed about, hockey. A Canadian sport being appropriated.

 

[disappoint]

And here is the young lady from the video. Quite attractive. Could she have gone for a whiter hair style? lol.

Who cut her bangs? Stevie Wonder? Was there an earthquake at the hair salon?

 

[TwiceOver]

Wow. I didn't know any guys actually talked like that. I thought it was just a blown up stereotype made up in stoner movies.

Ick, both of them should be removed from society.

Some people on the other side of the pond agree with her:

“My hair, my rules, my body”, Goldstein asserts, displaying a deep sense of entitlement. Sure, it’s only hair, and it is his hair to style. But does he have the right to style it in a way that has a deep cultural meaning to minority cultures? The ability to style your hair for fashion’s sake is a luxury, not a right. If it is offending others, Goldstein should consider giving up that luxury.

I think it's funny that Dreadlocks have existed in many different cultures in the past.

I was hoping the "be offended by everything" phenomenon was just a 2015 thing.

I didn't think I was trolling. OK maybe "removed from society" is a little harsh, but seriously they are both in the wrong. Him for furthering the worthless stoner stereotype and her for being a wise and beautiful woman.

Thats the point that most people here are missing (including you). Black people are only accepted into american middle class and above life when they conform to white cultural norms. When blacks maintain their own cultural identity they are not accepted into our society at large. On the flip side whites can take on black culture and use it with no personal effect.

That issue, laughably, is being ignored by so many in this thread. And shows we have a long way to go before we get to a place where we can have a real melting pot.

Its one of the reasons that make this place fucking horrible.

That's usually how it works when you have majority and minority populations. The only difference in this case is that their ancestors didn't come here willingly.

But if you're going to start making people pay for the sins of their fathers, you're never going to make any progress either. At some point you just have to get the fuck over it and move forward.

Is that OP pic the Beibs? 😀

I don't know about that, I wouldn't hire a white guy in dreadlocks. I would assume at best he is a pothead and at worst he is hygienically dysfunctional.
