What are you even talking about weirdo
The dude said business owners have the right to not hire someone if the way they look or act isn't appeasing to them. My response was does he think it is ok for a business owner to not hire someone who for example looks black or acts gay. I'm sure you know how someone can look black, ask Ninjahood. He looks black right? If you are unaware of what acting gay may look like I could share some links with you as well.So just let me know what point you didn't understand beloved? Dimelo

STOP PLAYING DUMB for attention
I had dreads last year and almost always rock a full beard.
The BS you get with it sucks but hairstyles are a choice, so they have the right to say what you can and can't do.

A beard or visible tattoos is something that affects men of all races so no it would not be called racist if a company has rules against it. Locs however are mainly worn among the black community (yes other races can wear them) but its still predominately seen among black people which is why we are taking offense with it. Oh it's "messy" or "too aggressive" of a hairstyle

yea different industries have different levels of corporate decorum. in the world of business and finance, 100% corporate is the move. from shirt and tie with maybe a suit jacket, down to saying hello over hey in an email (real talk). tech startups and some engineering jobs can be more lax. many will even tout lax work attire as a benefit (which imo it is cuz jcrew casual > full suit everyday). google, facebook, amazon...lax attire.
As a minority, particularly a black man, presentation means so much in this world. every day we are perceived like ****. it is in our best interest to be presentable, especially at work. because there will ALWAYS be someone at work, boss or coworker, who will look for a way to give you a hard time, so the way i see it you don't want to create an easy tool for the haters to use against you. signature fade wit da bevel blade is my go to. down the road, you can explore a different style. that's the safe bet. i'd never think to go to an interview with anything other than a 1.5 all around with a taper.
this is world we live in today unfortunately. hoodies, tats, the "wrong" haircut can send the "wrong" message. there is nothing wrong in playing the field safe.
is this discrimination? im leaning yes. while i think dreads are harder to pull off professionally, they can be presentable if done right.
furthermore, what about ALL THOSE WHITE WOMEN WHO BLEACH THEIR HAIR? neat and presentable aside, if dreads aren't allowed, dudes with pigtails are out of bounds, women with bleached hair (or color it anything) out of bounds. if you a white dude and you got the bon iver haircut, FOH. that ain't professional.

Do a lot of work places not want guys to have long hair?
My friend told me his company doesn't allow facial hair anymore. You have to be clean shaven and have clean cut haircuts. I look weird without facial hair, I at least need to rock some stubble.

...but yeah, your individual employer set those standards and while that's great (not "isn't that cute" great, but "legitimately encouraging" great), others have different standards. it's all in the hands of the man with the business plan.
