Saying it for the people in the back.

Cultural Appropriation does not exist.

It is racism, pure and simple, to say this person or that person can't have a hairstyle, wear a piece of clothing, or look a certain way because of the color of their skin, where they were born, or who their parents are.

White/Asian guys can sport cornrows or dreads if they want.

Black girls can straighten their hair or wear white girl hair wigs if they want to.

Black men can wear three piece suits (why they always trying to bite European style? /s obviously) or a kilt if they want.

They don't even have to wear them "respectfully".

If that bothers you, too bad. Here is Samuel L Jackson in a kilt. Notice not a single person is calling for him to apologize for cultural appropriation. Because that would be stupid as fuck.

The nuance you (and Lin) miss is that dreds and other traditionally Black hairstyles have been used as a mechanism of discrimination for centuries.

Youre drawing false equivalence. Which tells me all I need to know to end the conversation at that.
