這支影片是在舊金山州立大學拍的，點閱次數已超過150萬次，掀起了一場關於文化挪用的論戰。
這個學生叫Cory Goldstein，DJ名是Soulr。
女學生叫Bonita Tindle，對電影有所涉略。她還有一位不知名的跟班。他們為了Cory的雷鬼頭爭吵。Tindle認為他的髮型會冒犯黑人文化。
但是Cory說這髮型早在埃及時代就有了，他說得也沒錯！
雷鬼辮的起源不可考，但早在公元前2,500年就已有紀錄。
雷鬼頭存在的第一則書面證據，出現於印度《吠陀經》。
其中，濕婆神的髮型就是雷鬼頭，在《吠陀經》裡稱為jaTaa，也就是「一束束捲曲的頭髮」。
還有人指出，在《舊約聖經》中，大力士參孫（Samson）也有雷鬼辮，而當大利拉（Delilah）剪掉他頭髮時，他就失去了神力。
看來Cory確實有權利留這個髮型。
Tindle他倆可能反應過度了，這種批評還是不要說出來比較好。你覺得呢？
英文原文：
This viral video was filmed at San Francisco State University, and has been viewed over 1.5 million times, sparking debate over cultural appropriation.
Students Cory Goldstein, also known by his DJ name Soulr,
Bonita Tindle, who has dabbled in cinematography… and Tindle’s unidentified lacky... were arguing over Goldstein’s dreadlocks. Tindle believes the hairdo is offensive to black culture.
But Goldstein argues that the locks date back to Egyptian times. And he isn’t wrong.
The exact history of the hairstyle is a bit hazy, but there has been evidence of dreadlocks dating as far back as 2,500 BCE.
The first written evidence is in what is now India’s Vedic scriptures.
In them, the deity Shiva is shown wearing the style. The word used in the Vedic scriptures is “jaTaa”, which means “twisted lock of hair.”
Others have pointed out that in the Old Testament, Samson is mentioned as having dreadlocks and, when Delilah cuts them, loses his unsurpassed strength.
So, it seems Goldstein has a right to his dreads. And perhaps Tindle and her buddy were overreacting and should have kept their thoughts to themselves? What do you think?
