Jeremy Lin: Brooklyn Nets guard responds after Kenyon Martin disses
dreadlocks
Oct. 6 (UPI) — Brooklyn Nets guard Jeremy Lin has responded to a dis from
Kenyon Martin regarding his dreadlocks.
Martin, who is no longer in the NBA, posted a photo of Lin’s hair on his
Instagram account. He also posted videos talking about the hair. He has
since taken the posts down.
“Do I need to remind this [expletive] boy his last name Lin?” Martin said
one of the videos. “Like, come on man. Let's stop it with these people.
There is no way possible he would’ve made it on one of our teams with that
bullshit on his head. Come on man, somebody need to tell him, like, ‘
alright bro, we get it. You wanna be black.’ Like, we get it. But your last
name is Lin.”
Lin responded to the call-out with a comment on the Instagram post.
“Hey man,” Lin wrote. “It's all good you don't have to like my hair and
definitely entitled to your opinion. Actually I legit grateful you sharin’
it tbh. At the end of the day I appreciate that I have dreads and you have
Chinese tattoos bc I think it’s a sign of respect. And I think as
minorities, the more we appreciate each other's cultures, the more we
influence mainstream society. Thanks for everything you did for the Nets and
hoops…had your poster up on my wall growin up.”
Martin followed up with another video.
“That man grown, that man can rock whatever hairstyle he want to rock,”
Martin said. “…That don’t mean I have to like it or agree with it.”
Lin, who has a history of interesting hairstyles, wrote a piece about his
hair Tuesday for The Players’ Tribune. In the article, he explained that he
got the haircut with teammate Rondae Hollis-Jefferson.
“I'll be honest: At first I didn't see the connection between my own hair
and cultural appropriation,” Lin wrote for The Players’ Tribune. “Growing
up, I'd only ever picked from one or two hairstyles that were popular among
my friends and family at the time. But as an Asian-American, I do know
something about cultural appropriation. I know what it feels like when
people get my culture wrong. I know how much it bothers me when Hollywood
relegates Asian people to token sidekicks, or worse, when it takes Asian
stories and tells them without Asian people. I know how it feels when people
don't take the time to understand the people and history behind my culture.
I've felt how hurtful it is when people reduce us to stereotypes of Bruce
Lee or ‘shrimp fried rice.’”
“It's easy to brush some of these things off as “jokes,” but eventually
they add up. And the full effect of them can make you feel like you're worth
less than others, and that your voice matters less than others.”
Lin elaborated on the comments after the Nets’ 107-88 win against the Miami
Heat Thursday in a preseason game at the Barclays Center.
“At the end of the day…we need to spend a little more time thinking about
what it'd be like to be somebody else,” Lin told the New York Post in his
postgame comments. “He said what he said but I’m not really that offended.
If that's how he thinks, that’s how he thinks. But my job is to be
gracious, loving and if I can just share with him a little of my side I
think the next time maybe he'll have a different viewpoint.”
“He might have a different viewpoint in a week, but not if my whole fan
base comes and starts calling him – I didn't see it, but I heard people
were saying the N-word on his page. That's not what I stand for at all, and
that’s not helping us move in the direction we want to move in. I think
both sides need to come together.”
Lin had a team-high 16 points in the Nets’ win Thursday.
