Let me translate:The facial hair grooming standards of the US Military arose when it was overwhelmingly White.They specify that the soldier must be clean shaven, start to finish in a small span of time.African-Americans often can’t hit that window.This was used to drum out & harass them.

Black people can get ingrown hairs when they shave their beards. Because of this it is unequitable to force them to shave. But at the same time it is unequitable to force only nonblack troops to shave. In the name of equity we have to ban blacks from the armed forces.
