Here are the wigs in question, the judge's being the longer one:
Those traditional wigs look like African hair texture to begin with.
The Brits are missing a great opportunity to issue a modified wig style:

I fail to see the problem. Not just blacks in England are already wearing these wigs and looking just fine in them,
But blacks in British Commonwealth countries including some in Africa and in the West Indies are also proudly wearing this mark of education and serious work:

It’s always something with these people, isn’t it? Imagine the outcry if a white judge were to wear an afro wig. An allegation of cultural appropriation would be the least of them.

Reminds me of the Redskins football mascot controversy. It wasn't Native Americans having the problem.

All you have to do is check out the floor covered in afro wigs after a chimpout. There are hundreds of chimpout videos on youtube.
