Does anyone know of any incidents involving hate crimes against
any Men or boys just because they had long hair?
An odd q
I heard that they are highly against long haired men in Afgahnistan and some other surrounding countries. People say to avoid it at all costs because they will attack you there for wearing your hair long. I know where I'm not going for vacation!
Very strange considering their requirement for beards.
I often wonder how the members of some (not all) American Indian tribes that can't grow beards are viewed by that culture. Are they even aware of them and their genetic disposition? I have enough Seneca blood to prevent me from growing anything even resembling a beard, so I've always had a curiosity about the subject.
I believe the emphasis is more on not defiling the beard, rather than being able to grow one. Fundamentalist Muslims seem to insist on the distinction between the sexes, and thus shaving the beard becomes frowned upon.
On the other hand, there seems to be a regional tribal and cultural differences at work-

I know what you mean im 100% native american and I cant grow anything but a little mustache. even tho im only 18 but still I see white boys who are the same age with 5 o clock shadows. I prefer not to have a beard, but sometimes its useful like when buying ciggs or driving. it makes me look way to young and I have gotten stopped by police while driving cause they thought I was like 16.

This is definitely a hate crime. No doubt. To find the students that did this, look up students who attend Blackburn who used to attend Wills Point High School in Texas (from earler post).
