bruh... dreads are a natural phase of human hair in most every ethnicity on earth
why would it be exclusive to blacks other than it being very popular in contemporary culture?

I mean....
certain jobs won't hire you because of tattoo placement ..... the Yankees don't allow beards, if I remember correctly .... and so on and so on
it's a fine line here.... but it's not unheard of for certain looks to be frowned upon --- even those that apply to white people
not sure how mad y'all were when Hollister said it don't make clothes for fat people or ugly people, which in turn means fat and/or ugly people won't be hired by them
so again, this ain't exclusive to black people ... there's a lot of racist **** going on these days, but this one might fall under the neutral category all things considered, IMO....

Easily the dumbest opinion in this thread. Yankees just do that nonsense because of tradition.

they are pretty much exclusive to black people now. I can go outside and see black people with dreadlocks on a daily basis. Other races? Not so much. Maybe one person every few months

I'm not surprised. This is what they do. Make up laws for black people, have certain dress codes, black kids getting sent home from school for having certain cuts. Meanwhile some white folks can go to work or school looking and smelling bummy as hell and that's just Bob.

Dreds are messy? How is that possible when some of them white folks don't even wash their hair walking around smelling like wet dog?

Can confirm. White, haven't washed my hair in two weeks, smell like a wet dog. There is no dress code where I work though. This is ultimately the company's decision though if it's a private company they have the right. If you don't like it don't work for them.

companies hire on looks all the time..... it's like you're surprised by this
if an ugly white girl doesn't get a retail job, are you upset?
probably not.

That's the thing. It isn't because dreadlocks are the only thing that's prohibited. I'm sure long smelly messy hair is as well, and other things. Someone grab a list of the dress code.

And that's the justification, when there are NUMEROUS examples of clean, neat long hair.
This is targeting black folk, and I'm not sure why folks are in here trying to jump around it.

Best solution to that is more black owned businesses if that's the case.

pretty much...you can never legislate away discrimination. never ever. ever ever. ever ever ever ever.
how do you think all those clothing stores in the mall--your Gap, your Hollister, your Abercrombie--get a bunch of clones to work for them? you think it's random chance?
the only solution is to support other establishments or build your own. period.

AGAIN...
companies target ALOT of people --- those with tattoos, those that aren't attractive, those that are not in shape........... those that don't appeal to the product and/or image they're pushing
we really gotta cut the **** and stop using the race card on EVERYTHING.... all it's doing is watering down the instances in which it IS racism

there's no being logical with you on a racial topic, so I won't even try....
you're one of the main people leading the NT Everything's Racist Movement....

How does it water it down?
As if picking and choosing racists acts to bring to the majority has been going swimmingly for minorities so far.
Between Crutcher and Tamir Rice getting shot... down to redlining... WTF does it matter is some cat in MN feels uncomfortable bringing up race when it is the DRIVER in more situations than people want to admit.
Also:
Attraction is subjective.
Shape is subjective.
The way someone's hair grows is not.
I totally understand how companies discriminate. I get they can hire who they want, and they can do whatever they want once you're in.
There comes a time when you have to say "nah, b"
B/c just like companies targeting those w/ tats, fat, or unattractive... they also used to target folks for the color of their skin...
and it was justified with the **** you're saying now.

How do you guys not understand the concept of "maintain a clean cut, professional appearance"?
You can't expect to be taken seriously going over Q4 projections looking like ******* Lil' Jon.
In any case, it's their hiring / firing decision, not yours. No one is forcing you to work there.

This is one of the most absurd things I've read all day.
If you can tell people how they can't wear their hair, what else can you tell them?

there's no in between?
The problem is the "professional appearance" is rooted in a corporate white heterosexual males.
We need to adjust what "professional appearance" is b/c when it was first coined, I'm fairly certain folks didn't envision all these gay / minoritiy / female folks working in a professional enviroment.
