If someone wants to wear their hair in dreads - white, black, purple - its their friggin hair, let it go! I've seen some beautiful dreads on white people and I've seen some god-awful ones. African hair is different than Caucasion hair so it dreads up better.
People get their hair dreadlocked in hair salons for gods sake.
"Cultural appropriation" what a load of shit. A good friend of mine, white with beautiful dreads has been approached in Jamaica for basically being a "wanna be" Rasta. He very calmly explains that he is in no way, shape or form Rasta. He just likes the hair style.
One world one love people! Get a scissor. Flash back to 1967 in Liberty NY where the sherrif in the town actually cut the long hair off of the hippy guys.
I'm not the biggest fan of posers - in fact I have no patience for them. But a hairstyle does not a Rasta make...its those people who are "faux" Rasta and walk around with that vibe that make me nuts.
"Or like " visitors " taking route taxis or buying veggies off the " local only " truck."
I don't understand what this means - cultural appropriation by using local transportation and buying food from local vendors? Not the same thing at all! An honest travel experience - no?
