[QUOTE="BashCt, post: 1486351, member: 712331"] We agree that he is targeting one culture over another for the hair style, but then he repeatedly calls it disgusting so I fail to see how that doesn't meet the criteria of racist. I apologize if this comes off as combative, but deeming this incident as 'not racist' isn't going to change how the targeted culture perceives it. All gate-keeping does is make us feel better. A person doesn't have to intend a statement to be racist in order for it to be racist, but an apology and a willingness to learn/start a dialogue can go a long way. [/QUOTE]
