    A Hampshire College student is facing charges after allegedly assaulting a female basketball player from another school for “culturally appropriating” hair braids.

    On January 27, according to court documents, Carmen Figueroa ordered members of the Central Maine Community College basketball team to remove braids from their hair, citing cultural appropriation. Figueroa did not clarify what specifically was being appropriated, or from whom it was being appropriated.

    According to The Hampshire Gazette, Figueroa was charged with disorderly conduct, assault and battery, and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.

    When the team members refused, Figueroa, along with another student, began a fight with the visiting team, pulling their hair and bringing them to the ground.

    Figueroa allegedly stepped on and kicked one of the girls on the ground, according to court documents. Other team members who tried to help their friend were similarly assaulted.

    Coaches quickly intervened to break up the fight, pulling Figueroa away as she yelled racial slurs at the visiting team.

    “Overall, the topic of dispute on whether or not a white woman can wear braids is a very tricky blurred line–since cultural appropriation (CA) changes as our cultures blend and mesh it's difficult to make a contention on whether or not braids are CA,” Madison Campbell, the Young Americans for Liberty President at Hampshire College, told Campus Reform. “However, regardless of whether or not the hairstyle worn by the plaintiff is CA, it is completely wrong to victimize and brutally attack another individual for their hair.”

    This is so stupid. Like seriously, that isn't cultural appropriation and getting mad enough to assault someone over it without being self aware that assault would be a worse offense is incredibly dumb.

    Surely the players who took issue with the braids use / wear things exclusively from their own culture .

    How are braids cultural appropriation? I'd wager 99% of all cultures have some form of braided hair.

    Man is it tiring to have every incident be treated as a reflection of entire groups of people as if everyone in that group of people has to subscribe to every s***ty thing done by every s***ty person in these groups.

    Goes for 'liberals', 'conservatives', 'sjw', 'alt right', etc etc etc.

    Everyone just wants to attack what groups they don't like, which is why I won't identify myself as any one group. There are many parts of liberal, conservative, etc viewpoints that I disagree with and I don't want people to latch all their hate of these labels to me regardless of what my actual viewpoints are.

    The guy in this article is an a****** to attack someone because of someone's hair. You go ask most people, liberal or conservative or whatever, and they will agree.

    ...No clue why I'm even bothering to post this though.

    ...Meh I already wrote this might as well post it.

    It's a made up term for people who feel they dont have enough things to pretend to be perpetually outraged about. 

    People want to feel useful and valued, and when they have no legitimate means of adding value to anything, they manufacture problems to "solve" so they can feel important.

    Despite the replies, I deliberately avoided attributing this to a group because that's not really fair in this case. However, this is a good lesson on why the toxic campus ideology and rhetoric of people who obsess over things like cultural appropriation and microaggressions deserves to be scrutinized. 

    When you really believe it's an insult or "assault," as I've heard it before, to your culture when someone wears hair breads, and you're surrounded by people who echo this sentiment and think resistance is necessary for equality, you end up making idiotic decisions like this woman did.

    Pretty sure the earliest instances of the t shirt was as an undershirt for us navy men back in the late 1800s. Werent a lot of minorities in the US navy then. 

    Does that mean non whites wearing t shirts is cultural appropriation?

    Every female UFC fighter wear braids during fights. I wonder if eventually someone would pick a fight with those fighters and get their asses handed to them.

    Isn't the point of people of all cultures living together is to take things from other cultures while giving them things from your own culture? It's called a melting pot. And it only works when every flavour wants to melt.

    Who is they? The left is a collection of a number of political views held by probably half the world's population.

    You can find many examples of "millennials" doing things, but when that just means "everyone born over a multi-decade period", it becomes less damning and more f***ing obvious. The actions in no way represent the whole because there is barely even anything holding the whole together.

    both sides have a raging hard on for identity politics. acting like thats exclusive to the left is just woefully ignorant.

    also, the hypocrisy of criticizing "the left's identity politics" is astounding. you are literally using identity politics to criticize the other group for using identity politics.

    In practice, it's a socially acceptable way to criticize white people for doing something that's completely benign, while hiding behind the mantle of "tolerance." 

    If you hear someone whining angrily about cultural appropriation, there's an almost certain chance they're a racist.

    In theory, it's supposed to be when one culture takes an a sacred/important thing from another culture and trivializes it, stripping it from its cultural heritage for some superficial thing because it looks cool or funny.
