A rule prohibiting natural hair that is specific to black people is racist.
I know white people with all of these forms of hair.

It should be rather fun to watch when some jackass uses this law to challenge workplace safety regulations.
Because it's going to happen.

Why is this only for black people?

If they are discriminated for their hair, I would call it bullshite.
I still wouldn't call dreads, braids, etc natural though.

Me either. So I can only really see afro as the only one, but at what length is professional vs not could be debated

It's not, the article is shite. The Crown Act covers all races. I would assume it has exemptions that would cover those that handle food or work in the medical field.

Can we consider this a form of reparations?

There's nothing "natural" about those weaved locks...

What's considered presentable is subjective. I don't see fro's, dreads and braids as unpresentable.

I would consider dreads a natural hair style. Braids are more of a protective hair style, especially during summer months.

asked her to cut their locs — short for dreadlocks
Glad they cleared this up.
Either way, I mean companies have certain policies.
Just like cornrows, white people can have "locs" so I don't see why this is an issue.

Clean, brushed hair will not lock

It's not natural if you have to make it that way.

Really

It's 2019. Expecting black people to follow the rules is racist.

Well if its subjective, shouldn't the business get to decide what their definition of "presentable" is?
I'm going to guess your answer is no.
