Like I've mentioned in the past. People are 'offended' because they want to be noticed. They aren't offended, but they pretend to be to make their miserable lives more significant.

[Claretmatt4]

How is this even a story?

Some talentless gimp decides to change her hairstyle. Some people don't like it.

Oh right. Can't wait for the feature length report on which metals people find the most difficult to spell.

When did the news become so baseless?

[elwaclaret]

Not heard anything of them since Grey left. Thought they might of disappeared into the vacuum that Cowell's acts all disappear into when he's had his silver.

[Funkydrummer]

She needs to trim that body hair, never mind the dreadlocks.

[ClaretAndJew]

I’m gonna go bald, like a white supremacist.

[No Ney Never]

I'd do all the little mix except for the one with the big thighs.

[john'sroseyspecs]

Do the same rules apply to black people who have their hair straightend?

[Darthlaw]

In fairness, they don't usually tend to wear much beside dreadlocks.

[Bordeauxclaret]

How many people have to complain to make it a story?

Looking at that picture about 200,000 people liked it.
I’m guessing about five muppets were not happy.

[yTib]

probably an invented story to promote their cruddy music.

[bob-the-scutter]

I’m gonna go bald, like a white supremacist.

That would obviously be highly offensive to cancer patients!
There must be a large table somewhere with sad ba$tards sat around it drinking tea and thinking up lots of ways they can be offended.

[Man of Kent]

Does anyone actually care nowadays if someone is offended by something? A trawl of the news in one day will reveal at least 30 'stories' of people being offended by something. We are all becoming immune to those who are supposedly outraged or offended. I couldn't care less any more.

The perpetually-outraged idiots that inhabit social media are an irrelevant body of people who spend their lives behaving like that bloke in Monty Python who sold arguments for a living.

I find that rather offensive.

[beddie]

Leave the poor girl alone. There simply jealous and obviously lead a boring life.

[Sidney1st]

I'd have a go on all of them....

[conyoviejo]

I'd have a go on all of them....

You always like to be in the Mix Sidney..

[WadingInDeeper]

I can't believe people have such boring lives to be bothered about, or worse pretend to be bothered about, someone's hairstyle.

[JohnMac]

Some people claiming it's offensive to the Black Community.

What utter tosh, equality is supposed to be about just that, equality.

[3putt]

No. It doesn't work like that.

[BarstewardsEnquiry]

"Jesy Hun, I love you, blah blah blah, this is cultural appr'verbaldiarrhoea' so says Sophia (Greek) Mohamed (Arabic) see where I'm going with this?

[timshorts]

What colour is the woman in the picture anyway?
She's so covered in slap I can't tell what she'd look like after a wash.

The picture has been altered anyway, she's chubbier than that in the face.

[ŽižkovClaret]

I'd do all the little mix except for the one with the big thighs.

She's the best one! ha

[ŽižkovClaret]

I'll be honest though, they are offensive....

To the hearing community

[Blackrod]

Couldn't care less about the dreads. Don't think any of them look that great and the music is plain awful.

[thatdberight]

I don't really understand this 'cultural appropriation' thing. If I see an Indian wearing a three-piece suit, am I allowed to report him to the police? Or is that not "how it works"?

[LeadBelly]

"I don't really understand this 'cultural appropriation' thing. If I see an Indian wearing a three-piece suit, am I allowed to report him to the police? Or is that not "how it works"?"

No, only Caucasians can be guilty of cultural appropriation (not to mention Imperialism, slavery and playing "divide and rule")

[MiltonKeynesClaret93]

There were a handful of people calling her racist and accusing her of ''cultural appropriation'' on Instagram and Twitter.
Basically calling her racist, while telling her she couldn't wear dreadlocks because she's not black.
Thankfully, most people couldn't give a toss.

[Clarets4me]

This B******t has been going on since Elvis Presley started having hits, he was accused of " Cultural appropriation " by some in the Black community, and of " Promoting the evil N****r music " by racists in the deep south where he grew up ....

[dsr]

Longer than that, in fact. Anyone seen the film "The Book Thief"? One little German lad was a great admirer of Jesse Owens and wanted to be a sprinter; he put shoe polish on his face to try and be Owens. The Nazis were particularly opposed to that sort of thing, in real life as well as in this film - I don't think they called it "cultural appropriation", but basically they agreed with the viewpoints expressed by the anti-dreadlock brigade.

[Corky]

As has been mentioned above it seems that some people will complain about absolutely anything. Found this on a Defence site that I read stuff on:

A man from Irvine in Scotland has criticised the MoD after British Army troops from the Scots Guards set up in the town centre with guns.

Yes, you read that correctly, soldiers had guns.

I believe it was a recruitment stand.

[Imploding Turtle]

"cultural appropr..."

**** off.

Offence is always taken and very rarely given. Too many people in this country need to grow up and stop being offended on behalf of others. I don't like Little Mix but they have a right to wear their hair (or anything else - however little) in whatever style they like.

Oh my days how I hate political correctness with an absolute passion.
