I have a nephew who is white English and travels a lot. Last I heard of him, he was teaching rock climbing in South America. He has dreadlocks and I haven't heard of him having any problems for "cultural appropriation". I have always heard that anyone who wants to wear dreadlocks is free to do so, even if he isn't black or Rastafarian. This restriction is news to me.

: Have you heard of cultural appropriation? Lots of SJW's (Social Justice Warriors) on Tumblr claim that dreadlocks worn by anyone other than black people is cultural appropriation and they do not approve of it. The topic has been debated numerous times and there is still a lot of differing opinions, but I would like to hear yours, being the father of someone who wears dreadlocks and isn't black. And if someone were to point that out in front of you and your son, how would you handle that?
: Also, was the person who did your sons dreadlocks black?
