If white people wearing dreadlocks is “cultural appropriation,” wouldn’t wearing straightened ethnic hair also be considered cultural appropriation?

YES, let’s not be hypocritical

NO, only white devils can be racists.

African-American women get told their braids or natural hair looks “unprofessional”, they’ve been told it makes them less attractive, etc. It’s a little more complicated than that. And for the record, I don’t really buy into the “white people with dreadlocks is cultural appropriation” thing, I more just think they look assholes, lmao, it’s just not a good look. I’d just say there’s a difference in the argument for it because no one is trashing white people’s natural hair.

Well I’ll agree with part of that- the shots people look like assholes with dreads. Haha!
Personally, I think black folks Shoold be able to wear their hair anyway they want without being hassled.

Yeah, if you're going to ride on the cultural appropriation train you've got to at least be consistent. But much better not to ride that train in the first place because the entire "cultural appropriation" angst is bullshit.

There are better example example playing piano or dying hair blonde. Because most ethnicity have straight hair even many East African do. as for cultural appropriation it don't exist.

Technically yes but black people straightening hair stems from the need to look neat, whereas white people doing dreadlocks is about looking interesting.

Yeah but white people force people to not wear their own hair.

Now that, I don’t agree with. People should be allowed to wear their hair anyway they want. But that didn’t answer my original question.

[Opinion Owner]

It's linked to the question. Cultural appropriation is stupid its fucking America.

I get the argument that if a white girl wears that style it's seen as cool and hip.
And if you do it looked down on or you feel like you gotta fit in so you wear weaves or shave your head

[OddBeMe]

C. I don’t care about culural appropriation from any side.

[Jersey2]

Yes, but white people aren't pussies about it.

What does straightened ethnic hair mean?

[Asker]

When folks with kinky hair straighten with the use of chemicals or flat irons.
