Nice haircut actually.
I personally just wore a messy Hagrid-like heap of hair being 14-15, some teachers didn't like it, but I didn't care. They did take offense, though.
Who gives any kind of shits what a students hair looks like?
Why do these draconian dress codes still exist?

Usually schools will have an uniform but this was just his hair and most likely a more stereotypical white or Asian style probably wouldn't have this issue.
Let's hope that the rest of the school takes on the same hair dress, just for support.
To conservatives, a real American is a white person with white eyes and blond hair. Anyone else is inferior.
This is why I hate the term "African-American". We don't call white people "European-Americans" while we call black people "African-Americans" as if they're not American enough.
It's sad.
Purely in terms of the African American term, that one has a bit more nuance than an othering word.
There was a good intentioned effort to stop referring to people by their physical characteristics as a group. So you started to see asian/Korean/Japanese/Chinese-american, native/indigenous-american, and African-American. It fell apart with white people because the privileged group is more aware that they're not Caucasian or European, they're "whatever they are", so you still see Italian/Irish/german-american, but not European American.
African-American also has a specific demographic usage as roughly "the descendants of African slaves in America", as distinct from "people from Africa".
There's been a reversal, and now it's more expected that people are black or white (but only for those two demographics, never use color for Asian or indigenous people, but maybe brown for middle eastern or the Indian subcontinent, but it's iffy)
