I still don't get the hatred of dreads-on-white-people. I mean, hatred of dreads on any people, sure, because they look nasty as fuck, but why white specifically?

some hair is meant for dreads. white hair is not that hair. for white hair to go into dreads, it has to be unhealthy and dirty. This is aside from any cultural issues.

If the hair is going to be unhealthy and dirty after it's styled, why does it matter if it's unhealthy and dirty beforehand?

This seems kind of unscientific. While some groups have similar hairtypes, there are still lots of people within any given group who will have different hairtypes.

Also, Greeks had dreads, Egyptians had dreads, Aztecs had dreads. And yet every time someone brings up how it's wrong or appropriating to wear dreads, it always seems to be in relation to black people wearing dreads.

Not looking for a fight, it just seems like a hair style seems a weird/stupid thing to get possessive about. I fully support things like war bonnets for fashion, racist costumes, etc being firmly frowned upon and judged, but hair is just fucking hair.

I've seen people claim that white people having any kind of braid is cultural appropriation of black hairstyles as well, so logic doesn't really need to feature into this.

"it has to be unhealthy and dirty"

That isn't true at all. Clean hair is easier to make into dreads than dirty hair (less oil).

Nope! I am the whitest looking white girl, with white blond hair (though really curly) and my hair wants to dread more than anything in the world. It is a constant battle to keep it in nice looking curls, not dreads or massive frizz.

Well, black people with dreads are treated differently; white people with dreads are seen in more positive terms than black people with dreads. White dreads are seen as trendy, stylish, or daring, black dreads are seen as thuggish, dirty, and ugly. Black people with dreads are told their hair looks unprofessional. They are denied jobs in some cases. People associate black dreads with drug culture and militant groups (and yes, lots of white dreaded hippies are also associated with that, but this is a black hairstyle). That is my basic understanding of the issue, at least.

Nah. That just depends on where you live. A white or black person with dreads in CA is going to have an easier time than a white or black person with dreads in Alabama.

Well, yes, but that doesn't negate everything else, and that experience is not typical for all even in so-called bastions of liberalism. Black hair and hairstyles are still policed more frequently than white.

This. I've seen black guys in suits with dreads here, it's not a big deal at all.

i used to work with a Chinese woman who had dreads.
