If he is from Sicily….he has a lot of African DNA in him. Sicily was the first place African ships landed in the Med.

That said, no one should care. If you are in the US, you are American. (Except if you are making sauce/gravy. Then it matters.)

“If he is from Sicily….he has a lot of African DNA in him”.

Perhaps in theory, but the test results say different.

Not that it matters, but most Indians have very little body hair, and some of them have little or no facial hair. My SIL is half Loyal Shawnee. She has no hair on her legs or arms (or face). Her husband is Kiowa. He has no facial, arm, chest, or leg hair. My husband is Seneca, with some Scot blood; while he does have facial hair, he has no arm, leg or chest hair. His adoptive father was full blood Loyal Shawnee; he had no facial, chest, leg, or arm hair. A lot of the Western tribes are mixed with Mexican blood, which can make them rather hairy.

I agree. Full investigation required. By whom, I dunno.

In any part of the hemisphere here, indigenous people’s hair is sacred to them.”

My BIL is a full-blooded, registered member of the tribe [redacted] Indian.

He keeps his hair cut short. His sons do as well.

I think we're being bullshitted.

Don’t know how to handle this quandary.

How about this...

Some people believe their penises are power totems. Cut hair grows back. Penises don’t.

If that would be upsetting to you then never go to the hospital. It ain’t a hotel. They are there to give treatment.

It has nothing to do with the difference between a hospital or hotel.   It very much has to do with common courtesy and conscientious communication between caregivers and patients.

Even if shaving off my beard or cutting my hair is imperative, the right thing to do is say something to me first, or if I am incapacitated after a stroke say something to a relative.   Clearly the only reason the hospital cut his hair was for their convenience.   That doesn't cut the muster.

The story does not tell what the staff did or said prior to the haircut

Since neither you nor anyone else knows why presume?

I was going by the statement that his hair was cut without permission.

The dude is worried about his hair and not his medical care.
The whiner should have gone to a native medicine mane instead of actual medical professionals .
I’m tired of whiners who are always victims .
