The difference is hair colour and hair style are two different things. You can’t ‘own’ a hair colour, you have no choice over that and it doesn’t make it part of a culture and there’s a whole tribe of black people who literally have blonde hair and blue eyes. Not a good example to use. Now with the issue with braids, there’s a difference between cultural appropriation and cultural appreciation. I don’t care if a white person or whoever braids their hair, to me personally I don’t think it looks good on them but it’s their choice. The only time I would be pissed is if they were wearing it in a mocking or degrading way, that’s cultural appropriation, if you’re acting negatively with what you’re wearing or using. However, you can show appreciation by calling the style by it’s actually name and education yourself about why braids are important to black people, to muslims, to Native Americans. That’s cultural appreciation.

The truth is black people are retarded their "ethnic hairstyles" come from Norse and Greek culture it's NOT black culture. Cornrows and Dreads are literally a part of both Greek and Norse culture. I'm black and I don't wear dreads or cornrows cause it's kinda racist towards Greek people.
Stop speaking English. It's a White language. Don't use the internet or computers either they are White technology. Shut off your electricity again White people...

All ethnicities copy each other, it's unfair to judge one for it, but not another.
It’s double standard, lefties are famous for that shit
That’s a bad comparison because there are black people with natural blonde hair
Its always okay for one but not the other. If you want to wear braids wear them!
It is very unfair isn't it.
