Racial Segregation at Graduation Ceremony for Black Student with Cornrows

A biracial student in Japan was segregated from his classmates during their graduation ceremony for wearing cornrows, which the school deemed prohibited. The student was forced to wait in a separate room and was told not to respond when his name was called. The incident sparked discussions on how schools implement their strict rules and how they affect racial minorities. Japanese schools have faced criticism in the past for their strict rules, including forcing students to dye their hair black.
