I know various black people (both in real life, and online only) who aren't comfortable with it. I'm trying to be respectful to them.

Miley Cyrus is racist, I agree with that. And for more than one reason. Laurie having dreads isn't her deliberately being racist, it's her being ignorant. While I'm sure she doesn't discriminate against anybody, she's still doing something people consider insensitive. And I'm sure the only reason she was designed that way is because hippies/vegans in real life have a problem with dreads and ratsa hats (which symbolize the blood of all the dead and persecuted black people from the Rastafarian movement, soooo....)

Read up on stories online. Black people with dreads get followed around stores, harassed by police, and kicked out of class because their hair is distracting. When Miley Cyrus put on dreads for the VMAs, she was celebrated in the news for being trendy and hip. When Zendaya wore her hair in the same fashion, she was laughed at on talk shows and accused of smelling like weed and oil. It's a cruel, unfair, racist doube standard.
