white people shouldn't have dreadlocks because black people who have them are discriminated against employment-wise

I don't understand the 'because' clause here. Is that an argument people are making?

Huh. Well in that case, I might point to the way stigmatizing practices are used to bind a group together. (E.g., https://www.jstor.org/stable/2138608 ) If white ppl wear dreads, it might dilute the stigma-value of the practice among black folk?
