I am struggling to understand the point here.
Explain it to me like I am not retarded.
Believe it or not 28 states have now enacted this or similar laws, including traditionally red states like Texas and Tennessee. It started in California because of course it did.
The thinking behind this is that allegedly some people have used typically ethnic hairstyles to effectively discriminate against minority groups as some sort of racism loophole.
For example, you can't tell a black person that he or she can't eat in your restaurant. But, prior to this bill you could legally say things like your restaurant has a dress code that includes things like no dreadlocks or corn rows. That would disproportionately affect black people.
This bill effectively closes that loophole.
Don't get me wrong, I don't I agree with the bill and I think it's absolutely government overreach but that's the thinking.
