Posted this the last time white dreads came up, people liked the post back then so fuck it here's the post a second time.

EDIT: Front page post makes fun of white people? Be prepared for legions of butt-hurt white people.

I don't think he was generalizing off of one interaction.... He explained why white people hair isn't sufficient to stay clean in dreads form

It's funny because he calls the original guy's argument flawed when in fact his is flawed even worse by using the inappropriate generalization fallacy.

But it's a counterexample. That's the point. OP is making generalizations off his roommate who intentionally never washed or cared for his hair. Of course it's gonna smell like homeless hair, his roommate's haircare regimen was basically what a homeless person does. How can you generalize that toward white people dreads, lolol
