Courts in England are reportedly looking to scrap the requirement for barristers to wear traditional wigs amid claims that they discriminate against lawyers with “Afro-Caribbean hair”.
The iconic manner of dress in English courtrooms may become wokism’s latest scalp as demands have been made to abandon the requirement of barristers to wear wigs in front of the court because they are “culturally insensitive”, The Telegraph reports.

Did anyone stop to ask black people if they were offended, and if so, why?
Why is it conservative white people are the only ones who are not allowed to be offended by anything?

What are the wigs for anyway? Are they a means to make everyone looks similar, so differing individual appearance has less impact on the matters being spoken of? They also wear all wear similar robes, correct?
Facts should overrule anyone’s appearance.

I remember the judge in the Oscar Pistorius trial wearing a wig. She looked preposterous.

I think our lawyers should be required to wear those wigs in court.
What better way to honor diversity and inclusion?

If they do that, perhaps they will stop calling the judge “my lord”. I could not refer to any other person as “my lord”. That title is reserved.

What are the wigs for anyway?It began with the populace being stricken by lice and syphilis. They became fashionable when Louis XIV started wearing one, and now it’s just a persistent tradition.

Synthetic extensions, and especially wigs, do not allow the skin on the scalp to breathe, which is very unhealthy. The scalp will eventually get very warm and moist. What you get is a perfect breeding ground for bacteria and fungi. This can happen very easily with synthetic wigs because they cover the entirety of your head.
time to stop those gross wigs

They should’ve stopped long ago but for non-woke reasons.

I was about to suggest, as a guess only, that it might been to prevent the spread of lice- back then it seems that folks didn’t treat the disease, but only the symptoms, ie, person stinks to high heaven because of filthy sanitation? Don’t clean up, just keep dumping more perfume on. (We actuslly had a neighbor like that once- she wasn’t all there, but incredibly held a very high position in a ,ocal hospital- it was so bad that when the house was demolished, they found dead cats in the house, feces everywhere, the f3ces would get so thick, then she would buy more linoleum and place it over the old feces. The house was a nightmare situation.)
