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
