[QUOTE="Luckysingh, post: 166728, member: 16886"] Kanwaljit ji, I think it refers to safety aspects and as a safety issue. Long hair is not allowed in many estabilishments due to risk of getting caught in machinery etc... BUT- they are normally expected to have it tied up or covered with some sort of hat, they are not normally refused the job or work!!! similar risk is dangly earrings that are not usually allowed for this same reason. In a theme park where one may be supervising and seating visitors then there will be a risk of loose clothing and loose hair getting caught up in machinery, railtracks or appliances. BUT- I cannot understand what risk it poses if tied up and properly secured. I do remember seeing a sikh at six flags- Magic Mountain and he had his hair tied up in a guth and had a baseball cap on. It was only because he spoke in punjabi that I recognized him as a sikh, otherwise I thought he was mexican or hispanic. I'm not sure why the rastafarian would be refused if he agreed to have it tied up sensibly instead of loose with risk of getting caught up in something. Like wise I have seen both sikhs and rastafarians working in fast food chains like A&W's, wendys and mcdonalds.. etc .. and they also have their hair tied back along with appropriate company head wear. I have not come across a traditional dastaar in such places, but some singhs do wear a light patka over the jurrha with the company hat and logo securely on top. I'm not too sure about what the disneyland problem is, as in the Los Angeles resort you see quite a few punjabi students especially now in the summer. I don't specifically remember encountering any turbans, but seeing them certainly wouldn't look out of place with all the punjabis there as visitors, However, on the other hand the disney resort in Florida is much more different, you dont see as many punjabi, puerto ricans, mexicans, hispanic..etc.. as you do in L.A., So you don't come across many turbans in the general crowd either when compared to L.A. With the trumpet player issue above, we can't be too sure what the exact issue was. I know that the orchestra venues normally have evening dress codes like black-tie, maybe he refused to wear the black turban!!! i'm not sure and don't really know what the exact issue was, haven't checked it !!!! It does all seem a little far fetched seeing as little kids from rural hill billy towns in mid- west, like one's who have never seen a coloured face in real life, all know what a turban is thanks to disney's Alladin and arabian charachters. Yet this same disney has different views for employees!!! [/QUOTE]
