I was expecting something clearly offensive, like FUCK YOU shaved into his head, but nope.

Personally, I think his hair looks pretty cool.

    worth noting: it’s been a trend in the past few years for Democratic-run state legislatures (take for example New York) to introduce anti-discrimination laws for hair–and stories like this are basically why. certain kinds of reactionaries (usually in schooling) have increasingly been using hair as a stand-in for skin tone in basically discriminating against people.

      Yeah. Younger, naive me didn’t understand why laws about hair were necessary. It didn’t make me angry; I just didn’t get it.

      Now I understand what assholes conservatives can be, and the lengths they will go to in order to keep discrimination alive.
