Saw a similar situation a few years ago.
Couple of guys with braids worked a tourney on the recommendation of another official. (assigned -- sight unseen) When word got back to the assigner that the guys were both wearing braids, he called them up and advised that the hairtstyle was not acceptable. The guys, like some on here, protested, suggesting an ulterior motive was involved.......
The assigner advised that if they saw a white guy with a mohawk working the tourney, their suggestion would have merit.
