Yet, I liked how Lin mentioned the Chinese tattoos on KMart. Great comeback.

so it's done,

Martin took down the instagram post.
sent a video to TMZ apologizing for being racist, but still doesn't like the hair.

Lin addressed the matter at the end of the knicks game

[quote]Lin revealed the discussion after the Nets beat the Knicks at Barclays Center.

“He reached out and he was extremely apologetic… it was a great conversation,” Lin told reporters. “I think things were blown out of proportion, taken a little out of context as well. But me and him had a discussion where he was extremely courteous.

“Like, I’m actually impressed with how he handled everything. I’m thankful for the conversation we had and I’m also sorry for some of the things he and his son kind of had to deal with in the aftermath,” he added, referring to some ugly racist comments directed at Martin by some Lin fans.

“I’m just processing everything that’s happening and kind of felt he was dehumanized to some degree. I wish it didn’t happen like that, but we’re beyond that and hopefully I don’t have to speak about this incident or my hair anymore.”

It started with when Lin announced via The Players Tribune that he was going to wear his hair in dreadlocks, just the latest iteration of Lin’s tonsorial creativity. He noted that he had talked to a lot of people about whether the style would be seen as cultural appropriation, an Asian-American borrowing an African-American ‘do.

Martin posted an Instagram video (which has since been deleted) stating, “alright bro, we get it. You wanna be black. Like, we get it. But your last name is Lin.” Things took off from there, with Lin twice discussing the controversy, thanking KMart for his thoughts and noting that Martin has Chinese characters tattooed on his arm.

Martin “apologized” in a video with TMZ, but for some, it didn’t seem sincere. He said the dreads are still “hilarious” and said, “If I ruffled Jeremy’s feathers, I apologize.”

The two talked, according to Jeremy Lin, and the “beef” has been resolved. Now, he wants to put this in the past.

Lin would also like to see his fans not obsess over this issue anymore... or any other issues for that matter. He just wants unity. Obviously, Martin wants it over, too.

So now we’re left to talk about basketball... and not hair.

I wonder if Lin's new hairdo makes him more attractive to black females? I mean, I find black girls with the long straight black hair (like asian girls) to look more attractive than an afro.

But Lin should reconsider going back to the standard asian hairdo -- bowl cut where it's parted to the side. Then he can refocus on being the only Asian basketball player in the NBA.

Jeremy Lin’s Dreads And Kenyon Martin’s Chinese Tattoo Are A False Equivalency

It's not false equivalence, It was flat out rascism on Kenyon martin's part.

Case in point,

This was the Net's barclays PA announcer up until this season, He also MC'd as the ring announcer Boxing matches at Barclays Center. He's Been Rocking dreadlocks for at least 5 Years, No one has mentioned any thing about cultural appropriation.
He's seen in pictures with Jay-Z, Mike Tyson, Spike Lee. and he hasn't gotten Crap about his dreads.

An Asian with Dreads comes up and now people are offended.
Get real.

How many times do we have to remind you insensitive, soul-lacking ch!nks that black suffering is privileged?:
[quote]But borrowing a cultural marker like dreadlocks, which embody both joy and struggle unique to the black community, is not the same as having a Chinese tattoo, a symbol that doesn’t carry the same weight of oppression. Yes, appropriating Chinese culture through a tattoo is exoticizing and insensitive. But the the act of putting on and taking off dreadlocks ― which are related to the systematic economic and social oppression of a racial group ― demonstrates a greater level of disregard.
