 D&D got really mad at me for taking the side of that the lady at Yale who sent out the email saying that a little girl dressing up as Mulan wasn't the end of the world.

I wasn't surprised by the US dreadlocks row. It's another example of cultural appropriation and white entitlement
White men have worn dreadlocks in the past. But this isn't 11th Century Scandinavia, it's modern day America, where the style is still tangled up in the black struggle against white supremacy

Basically if you're an African American you can feel free to reach into the grab bag of African culture whether or not it's a piece of your heritage or even vaguely understand it. If you're white and appropriate anything from another culture regardless of motive you are poo poo and we'll raise a twitter rage mob to stalk you.

"This isn't 11th century Scandanavia"
Well it's not Jamaica either, you're not Jamaican, and you're not Rastafarian.

Also dreads are gross. I've been on winter camping trips where I wasn't able to wash my hair for a week, and my short hair felt uncomfortable. I can't imagine walking around like that all the time.

That is one dreadful site. It's like the worst parts of Cracked and XO Jane combined.
Opened an articles about Western Society gaslights minority groups. Was not disappointed.

As a witch and a non-binary person, I’m used to being told that what I am simply doesn’t exist – that my lived experiences, my identities, my very notion of reality is impossible.
