Federal court rules employers can deny a job if a person has dreadlocks. (Real) 1

In a blow to equal rights in workplaces everywhere in America, a federal appeals court ruled September 15 that rescinding a job offer based on a candidate's refusal to remove her dreadlocks does not constitute racial discrimination on the part of an employer.
The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 3-0 against an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission suit brought on behalf of Chastity Jones. In 2010, Jones was preparing to start a position at Catastrophe Management Systems, an insurance claims processing company, when the human resources department explained the offer came with some specific strings attached. Apparently, Jones could only work at CMS if she agreed to remove her dreadlocks, which a white HR manager claimed violated the company's grooming policy because they “tend to get messy.” Jones refused, and the offer was rescinded.
She then complained to the EEOC, which filed the suit in 2010. The suit argues that withdrawing the job offer constitutes racial discrimination because "dreadlocks are a manner of wearing the hair that is physiologically and culturally associated with people of African descent," therefore the company's demands were not simply a matter of hairstyle restriction, but of racial discrimination. The EEOC called race "a social construct" with "no biological definition." They also argued: "If a white person chose to wear dreadlocks as a sign of racial support for her black colleagues, and the employer applied its dreadlocks ban to that person, she too could assert a race-based disparate treatment claim.”As the Wall Street Journal reported, Catastrophe Management Systems' lawyers accused the EEOC of "indulging in 'novel theories' about race and culture that sounded like a sociological thesis on critical theory, not a valid legal argument."
The court, unfortunately, agreed. Federal law may prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, under Title VII, but courts continue to perform legal gymnastics trying to determine what consitutes said discrimination. A 2014 ruling, which this case upheld, stated that racial discrimination had to be based on "immutable" characteristics—that is, something that can't change, like skin color. The court decided that hairstyles were in fact mutable and that because Jones could physically change her hairstyle, it was legal for CMS to rescind her contract.
Judge Adalberto Jordan admitted that the differences between mutable and immutable are "fine and divisive" and that "there have been some calls for courts to interpret Title VII more expansively by eliminating the biological conception of ‘race’ and encompassing cultural characteristics associated with race.Apparently, however, he could not bring himself to heed this call, and ruled in favor of the company. The EEOC told the Wall Street Journal it is exploring further options.
There was no word on whether any white job applicants were ever rejected by CMS for their "messy" hair.

Companies have a great deal of discretion when it comes to hiring. They say they are equal rights employers but we know that it's a crock of steaming shit. They just find some other excuse to not hire someone they don't feel is a good fit. It's very difficult to make someone do business with someone they don't care for.

If I walked into the hospital for surgery and my doctor had dread locks, I'd probably turn around and walk right out.

Can someone explain what the problem is here? If a company owner doesn't want dreads, so what? It's their business.. I haven't read the rest of the article.so correct me if I'm wrong.

Performance is everything at a job, absolutely. Literally everything falls under the performance category. Anyone judging a hairstyle on a future employee is judging future performance on a hairstyle by definition.

Dreadlocks look unprofessional as fuck. If I was the hiring manager I wouldn't have hired her ass either. That's life... Don't like it then find a job working at pizza hut or something.

As far as that reply, I simply typed in the reply box at the bottom of the thread without reading yours at all. Unfortunately, the forum software defaults the reply to the last poster in the thread, which happened to be you that time. I never made the argument you think I did. Do I have an answer to your direct question? Yes. I'm mostly apathetic to the specific topic in a legal sense and the "right" you reference is at a state level, which is part of the larger question of states' autonomy, with which I generally agree on a fundamental level. If I didn't agree with that, I couldn't agree with a states' right to make pot legal either. So there. That's the argument you think I posted.

It would suck if you had naturally curly "afro" type hair though, it means you'd have to spend 1-2 hours every morning styling your hair and perming the shit out of it just to look "clean" for work. All I have to do is brush my hair and many mornings I don't even do that and I look just fine.

So you think someone someone in a high profile sales position would perform just as well with dreads as without? What about a public relations representative? There are many jobs that your appearance can affect your performance. Not necessarily because a person with dreads would behave differently, but because it affects the way customers perceive them.
I can't show you a study because maybe one has never been done before. Show me a study that shows hairstyle or even appearance can't affect job performance.

The word "necessarily," right there clear as day in the first sentence I typed, is paramount in my reply to everything you just said. Hairstyle can also affect soldier's vision in a war scenario. So?

Do you think if a study was done the same way with dreadlocks that there would be different results? If I misunderstood your argument then I apologize. I still say that having dreadlocks would absolutely affect job performance in a sales position.

Everybody knows being successful in sales is a combination of good looks with an outrageous personality. Somebody bubbly, outgoing, humorous, friendly, and fast-paced is the stereotypical sales pusher.
I wonder though, if you can legally discriminate somebody over having bad acne. After all, I can only imagine that people with bad acne tend to do worse in sales positions... but acne is technically considered a medical condition. Soooooo probably not?

And yet, retail sales on the internet increase every year with no salesmen attached. It seems the entire concept is old trash.

Here is an article about linking hairstyles and first impressions. I'm trying to find the original university study they are talking about. If you don't think first impressions can affect sales performance then I don't know what to tell you.

Where did Internet sales come from? The question is will two identical twins, one with dreadlocks, perform the same in a sales position? I'm not talking about retail sales either. I work in manufacturing and our sales people talk to potential customers about getting new business potentially worth millions of dollars. Do you think that a CEO coming in and meeting with a sales person with dreadlocks is really not going to have a negative first impression?
Honestly, tell me do you really believe that?

no. it's just i don't condone abiding by statistical stupidity as a prove of something of import being pointed to. if it's being pointed at by people whom are stupid, how can one trust this asseveration of it? stupid people do not know what they are doing, by definition.

I actually don't think hairstyle affects somebody's work performance nearly as much as obesity does. I mean it's one thing to have a bright blue 2-foot mohawk or something, but dreads still look relatively natural.
IME personality matters much more than looks when it comes to sales. Somebody with dreads who has a charismatic and explosive persona is going to perform a lot better than somebody who looks "perfect" but is awkward and introverted.
There's a guy at the VW dealership who looks like a skinhead and has full sleeve tattoos that he doesn't cover up, he also has a bit of a beer gut, yet he got salesman of the year and outperformed everybody in the nation.

It completely depends on who your target market or consumer audience is. Probably if you are selling Italian hand-tailored suits, you will want to look very clean cut and neat.
But if you are selling Harley Davidson's, it is probably okay and maybe even preferable to have a beard and a couple tattoos.

Exactly. I'm not saying it's fair. I would be pissed if I got refused a job for my appearance. But the question is, is it legal? Yes it is. Unless we're talking about appearance items related to protected religious groups. For example... Someone wearing one of those funny towels on their head because of their religion.
But that's just my understanding from 10 minutes of reading on the Internet. Ask enlil. He's the lawyer.

Haha, yeah I was thinking dreads could actually improve sales performance if you work in a weed store.

who cares what you said, literally; figuratively, that's what you mean, you think that how someone identifies with someones appearance, is a factor a in sales; i'm simply pointing out you're abiding by this notion that that is a legitimate position to take (that because someone's appearance is off-putting, [in any non-offensive way; but you see where i'm going with this? offensive dreadlocks?], and if someone's appearance is off-putting, this should invariably reduce sales, as per statistical data.
thing is, that data proves only one thing, for certain, other then the trend...it proves that people are stupid. because that trend is the definition of stupid.
no one's appearance, in the modern world, should offend anyone, unless it has purposeful intentional offence to it, like vulgarity.
and yes, dreads do not affect performance. sales performance as per defined by you, is something that is inanimate and has not human quality...but human sales performance, as per the human's ability to be a good sales person, yes, no marked decrease in ability.
his dread locks may affect his sales, but only with the most stupid god awful people that need to perish already, that are on the planet. vanity is a very stupid human trait.
and by perish, i mean, change, they need to change, and stop being idiots.

Some people have been arguing in recent years, that having afro or curly hair is natural for black people, and it is therefore racial discrimination to not allow these types of hair in the workforce.

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.

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.

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

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.
why would they have to straighten their hair? curly hair isnt the same as dread locks
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.
