You can get disability for a facial tattoo. Disability doesn't pay a mortgage though.

I could definitely see that. I guess that's why the lawyer in the article tried to link it to African Americans. I'd argue that the choice is yours to either have dreads or not, and is no different than choosing to shave or not shave, or wash your hair or not. White people can have dreads too. It's not a race thing.

You're doing it wrong
I know a guy on disability, he collects a nice check every month, AND his wife gets paid about 30$/HR (from the state) to take care of him, 40 hours a week, it's a nice scam, they been doing it for about nine years.

Not entirely true although i recall my dad shaving for a job. He had a beard for most of his work life.

It's called "grooming" for a reason. If "natural" was protected, deodorant, clothes, etc. couldn't be required. Frankly, I think employers should be free to discriminate based on whatever traits they want. If they don't want to hire black people, so be it. Let them get their asses kicked in the free market because of that policy.
Making discrimination illegal only means that discrimination is sneakier and hidden. As a result, the public doesn't become aware of it. That only allows the employer to keep doing whatever they want.

Disability checks aren't that much, you get paid $600-$700 a month max. Is his wife a registered nurse or something?

Deodorant only takes 2 seconds to put on though. I can see why people would be bothered over strict guidelines about unkempt hair in the workplace.
Especially for women, if they have long naturally curly or frizzy hair, that basically means they'd have to spend 1 to 2 hours every morning just styling or straightening their hair to make it acceptable for workplace guidelines. It's a very time-consuming process.

People are individuals.Can't judge someone based on their looks. One of my best.most chillest friends had dreads.

Ssying it's unprofessional is true in some professions (say banker or sandwich maker) but the guy that works at zumiez should be able to look like whatever the fuck he/she wants to.
Also people are saying this could branch out into racist managers being able to profile blacks for "knappy hair". I'm not sure about that but that's an issue with people

Stereotypical black hair isn't curly either, it's frizzy and unkempt. They would either have to put rollers in their hair and perm it to make it look curly, or they'd have to straight-perm their hair and straighten their hair to make it straight. Either method is a very time-consuming process.
