Can you point out the element of racism in the employer's request? I don't see any racist shit in what he said.

ezeagu:


When you get hit with racism you will understand. Until then, enjoy the fact that you don't have to work in a completely white workplace where every article of your being is criticised. Nigerians in Nigeria just do not understand racism, and in a way they're lucky.

Treasuredlove:
Nothing racist. If she had smaller braids, probably packed in a neat bun, it would look more professional. Lets face it, some looks just dont work with certain work environments. Lets look at it this way, what if clients have been complaining about how they find her braids too distracting? They are simply too big and not packed right

kevoh:
Moderation is key. Her braids are over the board. Simple braids would've gone unnoticed.

It is white american employers that don't want black women to embrace their natural hair texture but rather wear wigs and weave ons or perm their hair.

dasparrow:


This incident happened in America and not in Nigeria. Wetin concern Nigerian employer with whether you braid your hair or not? It is white american employers that don't want black women to embrace their natural hair texture but rather wear wigs and weave ons or perm their hair.

My dear dressing and styles speaks volumes irrespective of ur performance, such hair styles are totally unacceptable in corporate organisations especially banks where dressing is coded conservativley.

Luloves:
. This hairdo can go for an official look it just depends on how it's packed. If she packed it up in ponytail it goes perfectly. Plus this hairdo is accepted in banks.

"Loose the braids or loose the job" Honestly, I wish someone would try this with me, what is considered natural? Natural to who? If it doesn't affect her performance I see no how this is relevant, I hope I don't get to see this recruiter....

Jesus fucking christ! What kind of idiots do we have on nairaland these days? I cant believe my fucking eyes. Nobody is being outraged at this? Some idiot is even talking about work ethics, i mean what tha Bleep? What that fucking Bleep? What the hell happened to the adults and sensible people on nairaland?and are youths these days are just so fucking dumb ! Jesus christ!!!!! With the fucking slave mentality

AAinEqGuinea:




I'm sick of playing along with this game of human intolerance and then hearing others accepting intolerance as a mere gauge of work ethics. Should she have to cut her braids or should they cut their dated history of intolerance? The braids were never a historical or modern problem.
