Prohibit self-appointed bans of what people can and can't wear
Several articles and videos have appeared where self-appointed gatekeepers are forbidding those of different races to appreciate and use certain aspects from different cultures. This includes hooped-earrings, braided hair, dreadlocks, sombreros and more. This is regression to a dividing society.
