The fear of being labeled a "racist" means that 12% of the population now DICTATE to the rest of us.
There have been other complaints, the military puts out these stupid regulations from time to time.
When the USAF went to the bike test instead of running all the fit people were failing or getting low scores. The coach potatoes and smokers were getting really good scores. A lot of fit airman were placed in mandatory physical fitness classes. Stupid and there was an outcry then.
They have went back to running. The reason the went to the bike test was they were losing a few of the coach potatoes every year due to heart attacks during the run.
I can name a ton of such incidents but only the ones where race is an issue makes the headlines. The regs were fine. Women have had their hairstyles thru a number of conflicts without any problems.
Some officer is trying to make a name for him or herself and not using common sense.
