“I was very embarrassed,” said Autumn Williams, 16, of Concord, North Carolina.
The mom says that Autumn has never dyed her hair; the color of her braids best matches her natural color.
Naturally lighter hair while black: a fireable offense
You're viewing a single thread.
Except in very particular situations (Actors… that’s pretty much it) I don’t think employers should be allowed to have literally any opinion on your appearance past like, “don’t literally be covered in dirt.”
To be honest, interviews should be blind with fake names and voice modulators. On top of the obvious sex and race reasons that you shouldn’t be allowed to discriminate, I don’t think employers should be allowed to ban things like piercings, tattoos, dyed hair, weird hairstyles, etc.
Obviously you shouldn’t be allowed to fire a black girl for having light hair, but I don’t think you should be allowed to fire someone for having a green Mohawk and a septum ring either. Fuck off, it’s none of your business.
I appreciate my line of work because I can wear fishnets and makeup and short shorts while in the office, while in the same building with poor souls forced to wear button ups and shoes which give their footsies wounds.
Same here, as a scientist no one gives a fuck what you wear day to day as long as you have closed toes shoes and tie your hair back
Sounds like you'd be really cold if they were comfortable, and if you were comfortable they'd be drenched in sweat
green Mohawk and a septum ring either.
literally me

We have all the tech to make this the reality but still don’t. Hmmm
