Jeremy Lin, an Asian-American NBA player on the Brooklyn Nets, recently got this haircut.
Former Brooklyn Nets player Kenyon Martin decided to criticize it.
Edit: Sorry, should have clarified, Kenyon posted a video stating this, it was not on twitter. You can see the video here: https://www.instagram.com/p/BZ1jfeDB-xp
This was Jeremy's response
Picture of Kenyon Martin
YourTypicalFriend
I'm sorry but my boy LIN eloquently bodied Martin. And that subtle man too about having a poster of him. BODIED
somekindafuckingidiot
how stupid do you have to be to make that comment WITH CHINESE TATTOOS PERMANENTLY ON YOUR BODY. just begging for that come back
slyvic
Insert that one tumblr post about a racist criticizing a white girl having japanese tea in a kimono and getting owned by a japanese.jpg
TCGView
The best response is when you make your critic instantly regret opening their mouth.
SteveMND
Withering response done in a classy manner. Nice.
dandep24
Kenyon Martin posted this even after Lin wrote a piece explaining his decision and journey leading to it. Martin is an asshole.

Wow. What a wonderfully wholesome, respectful burn.

We get it your grandmammy was half Chinese, you wanna be Chinese. But the last name is Martin.

People of sub Saharan African descent do not have a monopoly on dreadlocks. Those have existed independently in many ancient cultures.
sevenmillionhahalaughs
you know why kenyon martin did that? because he 患得患失.
shankelstoff
Google translate says "suffer or suffer". I hope that's a terrible translation.
WeGotCompanyCaptain
Chocolate? "Oh it's because I'm black isn't it?!"
eagleeye33
Stupid ass water chocolate
sevenmillionhahalaughs
oh. the correct translation is "worried about gaining or losing"
Lambast
"Sickness of Avarice, Sickness of Loss". I guess it's supposed to be ironic, but none of the characters work together and it's meaningless.
GrissVioleGrace
When you don't have anything better to do than to try and claim something as mundane as a hair style to particular race of people.
SuperRockinMrMagic
Martin is an ass from what I can remember of him in Denver
IHaveACatNamedGustav
Dreadlocks arent even historically exclusive to Africa which is the best part since Chinese symbols are actually from China.
heXonyou
Dreads have been a part of almost EVERY culture around the world.
Kittynomnoms
The stupid part is that it even if it were true, it doesn't really mean anything. It's like saying that only white people can use wifi.

johnnywalkergold
Kenyon Martin was always a dick
Straffertheflavor
Too bad too b/c he had a cool ass nickname: KMART. Easily adaptable to anyone with Martinez, Martin etc type of names.
jelliekane
I think the only thing I would say differently is ALL cultures/races being able to share other cultures. Not just minorities.
IWouldLikeToGetOffThisRideNowPlease
Technically, according to Wikipedia, Han Chinese is the world’s largest ethnic group. So in a global sense... I’m a minority?
IWouldLikeToGetOffThisRideNowPlease
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_the_world

The demography of China is tricky, a lot of other ethnic groups are officially listed as Han just to make them disappear on census data

Today's poster child for hypocrisy Kenyon Martin is utterly destroyed with class and respect. Well.played sir

Everytime an ignorant closeted racist brings up dread we have to go over how they aren't exclusive to black people, there were dreads in
JackSmiles2
I am like. . .he got shit hair and that looks like shit in that pic, and you want to claim it as being black? Bruh claim better dreads.
LupusLilium
Butbut, people say minorities can't be racist, how is this possible? /s
Mavgurian
IT FUCKING DOES NOT MATTER AT ALL! YOU LIKE IT YOU DO IT! CULTURE CANNOT BE EXCLUSIVE! I hope that was at least loud enough ...

I mean technically it wasn't loud at all, but it got your point across at least.

Dunno why you got downvoted, I thought it was pretty funny.
flikrdoodles
Some people can imagine the imagery described. I laughed too though
IHateyouIfyouremoreattractivethanme
Scandinavia, Scotland, egypt, it just seems to be the best way to style really dirty and unwashed hair, ok. Can we finally get over this?
drowningfishy
The list for this goes much larger then the ones you listed. Dreadlocks are actually something quite common in human history.
drowningfishy
PS: I mention this because it's actually quite interesting the religion/cultures involved in dreadlocks more then "unwashed hair".
IHateyouIfyouremoreattractivethanme
I'm not aware of the religious significance, I'll have to research that, I know there are more cultures than I mentioned, I just didn't feel
IHateyouIfyouremoreattractivethanme
Like having a reply that's just a list of places.
TheLavabenderGuy
Yeah ! Being dirty and having unwashed hair is a right for all humans !
MyHouseOnMars
Haha!
CelticRain12
Dreads more currently are a primarily darker skinned niche, but they go back not only to Egypt but Greece and India as well. 3000+ years go.
karimonsterbitches
Also the Celts, the Picts, the Danes, the Saxons, the Mongols, the Northman, the Normans, etc...basically every ancient people who had hair.

I'm a white dread-I'm a white dread, so? I'm a got a ring and I hang it from my nose. Got a little game and I take it to the park.

Also, good on Lin. Meeting hate with hate isn't always the way to be.

Really every civilization that didn't wash their hair have a tradition of dreads

Is that accurate? God that's sad lol
UnDumb
There are plenty of hockey players to come through ivy leagues. Yale and Harvard are two of the top colleges consistently in the standings.
UnDumb
I think Harvard even ended up having the third best record last year
deathfromabove777
NBA players get there through NCAA colleges with great basketball programs. Harvard is not one of those schools.
FartedWhileMakingUpName
I was thinking of the whole history of basketball. It was around for decades before being a major sport in this country.
FartedWhileMakingUpName
When there isn't much money to be made from playing, you place less emphasis on which school has a good program and more on education.
QuackQuackAttack
Harvard Basketball isn’t very good. Unlikely that anyone super serious about basketball would go there even if they could get in
IWillActuallyMurderYourFamily
How is that sad? Why do a course at Harvard if you're good enough to make it to the NBA
FartedWhileMakingUpName
A very low amount of collegiate athletes make it to the pros. A lot of those that do don't make tens of millions of dollars.
DirtRockets
Because within about 2 years of retirement a shocking amount of NBA players and other pro athletes face monetary difficulties due to taxes,
DirtRockets
unsound investments, conspicuous spending in the face of new-found and hitherto unknown wealth, etc.

Likewise the majority of lottery winners, from what I've heard.

It doesn't translate cleanly, but it probably meant to be a rough translation of "no pain, no gain"

What's the actual translation please

患得患失. Character 1 and 3 means "suffering, illness, affliction...", character 2 means "gain", and character 4 means "loss".

UrsusDerpus
No, of course not, but it's the closest thing I can think of. My Chinese is rusty as shit, and I even asked my dad. It's the best we got.
misspoopsalot
It’s more the insecurity and anxiety one feels when they gain something and is scared of losing it, the constant feeling feeling of wanting-
misspoopsalot
Something then scared of losing something.
UrsusDerpus
Honey, I know. But I don't think Martin knew. I guess I should've said, that's what someone told Kenyon.
