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
have they never seen a biracial person on tv? like?
they don't watch that woke crap
"How many times do I need to tell you? Don't even DREAM of telling white people the truth! Shit. Making white people riot. I'm going to go find a white man and lie to him right now."
Yeah at ex model c all girls high schools in South Africa there were major issues around black girls hair. Even led to full on protests because of how racist these schools were. I remember meeting someone at university detail how they were forced to put chemicals in their hair to straighten it while at one of these schools. But I think the protests led to a change in hair and uniform policy, so at least something happened.
I'm so sorry that you had to experience all that. Hopefully you're in a better situation now
Yeah natural hair on the rise. It's becoming much more common, along with braids + extensions. Especially amongst young people, a lot of people don't straighten or relax anymore.
I was even sad when my friend buzzed their's off, but apparently they got tired of all the conditioning and how expensive a hair conditioner that worked for them was. Still supported their choice anyways
The bar might as well be on the floor lol. How do you know some others, guessing immigrants to the US? In general the worst of us are among the immigrat/expat community.
The children probably learn from how our society is structured here. It's common for upper/middle class families to have a maid/domestic worker (who is in 99% of cases a black woman) clean their entire house for minimum wage. And pretty much everyone working in low paid service jobs, from cashiers to petrol pump attendants and waiters/waitresses, are black. So the children learn from that blatant racial inequality and act like that and become spoilt racist brats. I just hope they grow out of it when they get older.
Among older people yes most people are still very racist, but the situation is better among younger people. Still a lot of racism though, the amount of young people that have felt comfortable using the k word around me is way too high. But the situation is still much better than before among young folks, though I tend to avoid the crazies so yeah.
I just hope what I'm saying is helpful and accurate, I just talk about what I see here.
well i learned a new slur today
Sorry about that.
Well maybe you shouldn't have been ripping all their spines out and screaming in triumph.
Or maybe you should have started, they sound like they deserved it
That is the most normal hairstyle I've ever seen. In South Africa I see much more elaborate hair styles literally every day, and it's super cool.
Racist ass chick fil a bosses
Their issue wasn't the hairstyle but blonde hair on someone with dark skin. Apparently it's "unnatural". Growing up mixed race black in the US, you run into this with a certain type of person. Evidence of misagination really bothers them.
Yeah that also happens in South Africa, especially towards the coloured community here.(Not a racial slur in South Africa, it's it's own culture/ethnicity and many people self identify with the term). Some really vile stuff gets said towards them.
In the article, it says they invited her to return to work after they realized the rule had been misinterpreted. The absolute gall. Of course she doesn't want to work with those fuckers! They've made it very clear how they see her, but now in their generosity they're going to offer her job back. I'm glad she's exploring her legal options instead.
Their lawyers got their ass but not enough to do literally anything to the chud manager I guess
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.
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
To be honest, interviews should be blind with fake names and voice modulators
We have all the tech to make this the reality but still don’t. Hmmm
Fuck this company and their terrible bland food too. We've had some pop up where I live in the past few years and the place legit causes traffic jams because of all the
suburbanite slobs in their tank sized SUV's lining up for their slop. Then every other week we learn about how yet another manager there is a bigot. I remember when libs were running defense for the company when the ghoul who owns it was revealed to be a homophobe. Their refrain was always "oh his views aren't policy or the views of the people who work there". What kind of people do you think he hired? And what kind of people do you think he encouraged his underlings to hire? You think there might be a connection between who he is and the fact that you can't make it through the drive through there without another news article like this dropping?What kind of people do you think he hired? And what kind of people do you think he encouraged his underlings to hire
and the whole 'closed on sunday' means even normal scumbag capitalists avoid the business, only christfreaks, and the specific kind who want to murder lgbt people are going to be franchisers of a joint like that
Christian music and (I don't know what to call it except "bro country") in a death spiral to see who can make the most unimaginative bullshit possible.
i've seen it said here that their franchisee interview process is wildly invasive and thorough to ensure that only the most unhinged christofascists are allowed to use their money printer
There's a christian-ease language, as we call it. A certain way of phrasing and framing things that signals that you're part of the good ol boys club. The root signifiers are essentially signaling that your core ideology is fascism.
Double lane drive through staffed by teens walking up to your suburban assault vehicle
they make those kids stand outside in the florida heat with zero sun protection
it should be an executable offense to expose workers to that level of potential harm (sun, heat, vehicle exhaust, risk of getting run over), let alone children
Shit is pathetic and with inflation prices they all just look like addicts now. Like Chik Fil A drive thru in 2023 is a methadone clinic for food issues.
Nothing more than racism. Sure, it's easy to dismiss that claim because it's "overused", but when it keeps happening and there are no excuses for it, what else could it be?
Fam, this is hexbear turf. You don’t need to prevaricate when calling racism out. Any chud gets in here to froth at us he’s gonna get bullied then promptly banned
Fucking so sick of the unending hatred of old white men in this country. It's in my face every single fucking day of my life and I'm so over it. This girl is incredibly beautiful and it's so obvious it was about her race. FUCK
I'm just saying that the issue is about her appearance and the only rational thing they could say is that it's not professional, but she looks fine, so that really only leaves race.
This is pretty common and goes beyond just the color of your hair, the majority of states still don't have discrimination protections specifically for protective hairstyles like braids, locs, cornrows, afros, etc. And, even in states that do, they obviously just front it as something else; my friend works in NY state (which banned protective hairstyle discrimination in 2019) and has a coworker who was sent home after coming to work with locs with red highlights. Employer claimed they only had issue with the red highlights, but I'm sure they obviously saw the locs on their own as "unprofessional"
A workplace study this year found one-fifth of Black women aged 25-34 have been sent home from work because of their hair. Two-thirds of BW also reported changing their hair for an interview
Fun fact: a female person with that hair colour is a blonde, while a male would be a blond.
I have never seen anyone spell it without the e.
Mind you I'm not from the US so maybe they spell it differently there idk
it's the fiance/fiancee thing, because half of the words in English come from Latin/French. it's for the best if we just pick one and use it because the grammatical gender thing doesn't even exist in English.
i don't understand, wasn't that her hair colour when she interviewed and got the job?
