Oh man, black women's hair is a HUGE under-the-radar discrimination issue. It's one of those issues that get dismissed because of how silly it sounds (and a prime candidate for people saying "for fuck's sake is everything discrimination now?!?!"). But seriously, the natural hairstyles of many black women aren't considered "professional" in a lot of contexts, and spending a pretty-large amount of money and time at salons torturing your hair into looking white is pretty much the only option in some circumstances. AFAICT, the solution is "easy" per se, but difficult considering how slow culture changes: don't define "different" as unprofessional. Thankfully this is one of the problems that tech is better about than other places in general (because seriously, who gives a fuck about your appearance unless you're a model/actor/customer-facing/etc).
