It is not that simple! |
I could have sworn the thread title read something along the lines of.. "School bans pupil for hairstyle".
Maybe my eye-sight isn't what it used to be?
Lew's point is a good one, a black girl (generalising here) would usually have to work pretty hard to achieve straight hair as it's not particularly easy to do with the typically tight curly hair common within the black population.
Straight hair naturally has been the domain of other ethnic groups, yet with the invention and innovation of products over the last century or so, these other looks have become possible.
I think the comparison is legitimate, the girl in question is perfectly within her rights to use that hairstyle.
