The point is valid in general, sure. But when a black ACTOR deliberately makes his hair messy as part of a character, describing that character as presented is not wrong, not racist, and not problematic. It's not a real person trying to live their life and being mistreated due to their hair.

It's a person deliberately presenting themselves that way. Context matters. Making an issue out of things by taking them out of context isn't helping anyone.
