because it's not his culture. No surprise it's from San Francisco State.

Anyone of any culture can be a racist. Anyone of any color can be a knucklehead.

This employee was being a knucklehead and being racist. Rules should apply to her as well as any other 'fill in the blank with your favorite race' when they behave in a racist manner.

SFSU has said the woman is not an employee, so I changed the topic subject.

I thought it was funny how she was going to try and argue that because Egypt is in Africa, dreadlocks are of African origin.

That would be like a Canadian telling an Asian he can't eat a burrito because it's the Canadian's culture, not the Asian's. Because Mexico and Canada are both in North America, don't ya know!

I liked one of the comments on the article, which insinuated that by her logic, she's engaging in cultural appropriation by speaking English.

I would think this kind of thing is covered in the student handbook. I also think since there's evidence, whatever punishment is called for in the handbook should be imposed.

My thinking might be a little harsh, but since I do not agree with any racism at all, I think it is appropriate.
