Sort of the joke with these “PoCs need to learn to conform!” You never seen white kids held to the beauty and wardrobe standards of their minority peers.
Kids who show up to school in blue jeans aren’t dinged for dressing informally. Kids who bleach their hair or have it curled aren’t harassed. Nobody is losing their shit over some dipshit in a dented pickup blasting “Rich Men From Richmond” on his after-market speaker system.
It’s like that dumbass has no concept of reality but what he imagines it should be like. Being American obviously doesn’t require “conformity” if you think about it for 5-10 seconds. All it requires to be American is to be born here or go through the citizenship process, literally.
The reality that all Americans should see is that we have a nation of many cultures and ideals that we are free to conform or not conform to. Freedom to be yourself is inherent in the concept of America in general, I would assume for the majority of humans in the world too.
Conformity to what? That kid’s roots are just as American, if not more so, then that of the white principal.

“Conformity” is entirely white-facing.
