Sort of the joke with these “PoCs need to learn to conform!” You never seen white kids held to the beauty and wardrobe standards of their minority peers.
Kids who show up to school in blue jeans aren’t dinged for dressing informally. Kids who bleach their hair or have it curled aren’t harassed. Nobody is losing their shit over some dipshit in a dented pickup blasting “Rich Men From Richmond” on his after-market speaker system.
Conformity to what? That kid’s roots are just as American, if not more so, then that of the white principal.

“Conformity” is entirely white-facing.
