Salon says 'ethnic' hair harder to clean in response to discrimination suit |
Even the most die-hard of the looney liberal lemmings must admit that this
lawsuit is the epitome of politically-correct absurdity. That 'ethnic' hair
is like Brillo; probably requiring about 4X the amount of work. These people
are living in denial if they think a one price-for-all policy is fair
business practice.

Almost three years after Vaughan Thomas says she paid an inflated price at a
Montgomery, Ala., hair salon simply for being black, lawyers for Dillard's
beauty salons went to court Tuesday to defend the department store from
allegations of what Thomas and others call "race-based pricing."
Thomas is one of eight black women suing the department store for racial
discrimination after she allegedly was told that Dillard's beauty salons
charge black customers more than whites because of the "kinky" nature of
"ethnic" hair.
"Hair is hair regardless of what color you are, and the prices should be the
same for everybody," Thomas told Courttv.com. "This is a practice that's
still being done in the 21st century, and it should be stopped."
While lawyers for Dillard's deny that the retailer practices "race-based
pricing," they claim that scientific evidence supports the theory that
"ethnic" hair requires more effort to treat - and therefore should be
subject to higher pricing.

Like brillo???? 4 times the amount of work???? How about some hard
data to back up those claims!
BTW, Young's economic argument is quite likely BS in this case, and
it should be easy to tell: just compare rates for barber shops located
in predominantly Black communities to the rates elsewhere. A factor
of 4 should be stand out well enough.

Oh, his lack of response will make it clear to anyone seeing his rants
for the first time.
In fact, you'd kind of wonder if he has ever gone so far as to shake
hands with a black guy or gal given his silly statements. :-)

My friends, they all told me,
Man, there's something gonna change your life.
My friends, they all told me,
Man, there's something gonna change your life.
Gotta have that brown sugar.
Man it's just gonna change my life.
Man, I gotta have that brown sugar.
Man, it's just gonna make me feel so right.
There's something make me feel good,
And it's gonna change my life.
There's something make me feel good,
And it's gonna change my life.
I gotta have some of that brown sugar,
Gotta try it before I die.
Man it sure do save me
When there's no place left for me.
Man it sure do save me
When there's no place left for me.
Gotta have some of that brown sugar
As long as that's gonna set me free.
Man, there's somethin' make me feel good
And it's gonna change my life.
Man, there's somethin' make me feel good
And it's gonna change my life.
I gotta have some of that brown sugar,
Gotta try it before I die.

It has as much validity as your off topic 'off topic' rant--each
stupidly worthy of rebuke.

you continue to demonstrate your ignorance of usenet newsgroups,
scumball, and your disrespect for readers' ability to decide for
themselves what is and is not appropriate.
do you feel like a hypocrite criticizing others for doing what you
do?
