i think contextually this article would make the point that it's directed at white people considering wearing dreads and not other non-white groups, but yes it is pretty corny to effectively frame black people as the only group that has a cultural tradition of locked hair
Aside from point 84, which I have some disagreements with as an antispecist, it's the only point I have a problem with. Everything else is sound and should be basic knowledge ; I lament how it's still relevant to point these out even today...
It would have been better to phrase it as something like "don't have dreadlocks if it's not culturally or religiously appropriate, just don't".
Religiously because I believe a serious rastafari (and not just someone who listens to Marley and smokes weed), whatever their ethnicity, also deserves to wear their locks proudly.
