Quote:
Nakhid said using afros for disco-themed marketing perpetuated racial stereotypes for people of colour as limited to dancing and drug-taking.
"People say it's just a costume but it's neglecting and dismissing the history of people that had to endure the challenging of their blackness and their hair."
