I had no idea what you were referring to, had to look it up (https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/03/sports/black-equestrians-helmets-safety.html). Just when I thought that I had heard it all, it's a real thing (in their minds).
Of course, the solution is right in front of them and it's all about choices, as your meme expertly illustrates, cut your hair and be able to properly wear a helmet or quite riding horses.
Easier to cry racism.
