The New York Times “reports” that black people are having trouble riding horses because they are having difficulty finding helmets:
For Black equestrians with natural hair, finding a helmet that fits can be virtually impossible –– another barrier to inclusion in a sport that remains overwhelmingly white. Helmet companies say there isn’t a simple fix. https://t.co/hhYIBqZV8B pic.twitter.com/Io9myQ4wKJ

Correct me if I am wrong, but aren’t there black people in the Army, Marines, Air Force? Pretty sure they wear helmets there. Don’t black people ride bicycles and motorcycles? Again, they’ve been wearing helmets for decades. Probably even been black skaters and skateboarders, who often seem to wear helmets. How is this a problem?
