SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Gov. Gavin Newsom signed into law Wednesday a bill making California the first state to ban workplace and school discrimination against black people for wearing hairstyles such as braids, twists and locks.

The law by Democratic Sen. Holly Mitchell of Los Angeles, a black woman who wears her hair in locks, makes California the first state to explicitly say that those hairstyles are associated with race and therefore protected against discrimination in the workplace and in schools.

“We are changing the course of history, hopefully, across this country by acknowledging that what has been defined as professional hair styles and attire in the work place has historically been based on a Euro-centric model — based on straight hair,” Mitchell said.

You’re also not allowed to notice any smell coming from any particular hairstyles.

They have no money and they are losing California citizens by the droves. They have no sense of reality. I’d even be willing to bet if some white guy came in with a shaved head they would probably allow him to be discriminated against on the claim that he had no hair style. And they’re stupid judges who are communist would probably hold that one up in court.

It’s f’n exhausting. Every day it’s a new thing from the left. How many things can you be offended by? How can anyone live in such a perpetual state of misery and angst?

It’s a race to the bottom. California in the lead followed closely by NY.

I was told it's an ethnic thing. They tried to explain it to me, but could not understand it for me.

OMG - Newsome actually signed that bill!

This is going to be so much fun to watch - from far away.

One more self driven nail in California’s coffin

Pimps actually work for a living, at least compared to politicians.

Its what you are, not who you are, the deliberate disintegration of a civil society by American enemies. So if a black fat female who wears a G string and is pierced, tattooed and dreadlocked applies for a job as a food server in a high end restaurant has the ability if turned away to sue the establishment for racism, this is what its really about. Giving the dregs of society a way to get some money from those who have and wont share
