Angered by Sky News Comments

[contok16]

Hi,

I am not sure whether I am overreacting. I was watching sky news on Saturday evening & sky presenter Anna Botteng was discussing the ‘Black lives Matter’ protests in London. She then went on to say sadly the event was hijacked by ‘shaven headed’ men, from far right groups.

It upset me that she seemed to be suggesting that shaven headed males were menacing, or that a shaven head was in some way associated with racist thuggery. I feel compelled to complain to Sky News over the comment. Am I right to do this or am I being too sensitive. I fear many balding men who may consider shaving their head may be less inclined to do so, as a result of ridiculous comments like this. For a Sky News presenter to suggest there is a link between a shaven/bald head and violent, racist behaviour, Is ridiculous.

I have been contemplating shaving my head for some time, but am now having second thoughts.
