Yeah, these rules might not have bad intention but they get dicey when you broaden who they apply to.
I never forgot this story from 2018 about a black police officer suing over a requirement to be clean-shaven every day.
> Officers have to be clean cut, except for mustaches or short sideburns. Joseph Lewis, a six-year vet of the force, however, suffered from razor bumps, which made it painful to shave. The condition is common in about 60 percent of African-American men or people with coarse, curly hair, according to the American Osteopathic College of Dermatology.
