Muslim girl plans to sue Disney.
She needs some American girlfriends to take her out clubbing.
the video did not say which country she come from or her status there. she looked eastern or malaysian.

Turbans and headscarves would be hazardous to wear during wood and metal work. Especially welding or using a cutting torch where anything put on your head has to be non flammable.

This is such a touchy subject.
Personally I would not forbid a Sikh from wearing a turban or a Jew from wearing his skullcap, or even a Muslim from wearing a scarf.
But what if the Muslim insisted on wearing a full burka?
What if a Western woman got a job as a bank teller and insisted that it was her "right" to wear purple hot pants, a low cut top and a lot of facial piercings?
What if a Muslim or Jewish man wants to be a policeman but they tell him he must shave off his beard, which his religion forbids him to do?
If disney is nazis and nazis hate jews, and muslims hate jews, and a muslim wants to sue disney...

Oh, yeah, this makes a lot of sense! Nothing like a little coherence and consistency among the factions! (sarcasm)
Sure you're not thinking of Henry (Heinrich) Ford?

Actually. Walt Disney detested Jews as did Henry Ford.
The irony is that since their deaths Jewish interests have taken over the Disney Corporation and the Ford Foundation.
Disney did try to make accommodations by offering her a switch to a "backstage" position where she could get away with wearing the headscarf, but she refused.

But is this just "Health and Safety" rather than an actual likelihood? There are numerous countries (all of them?) which use woodwork and metal work and there are not millions of deaths from incorrect head-gear exploding into flames, so it would seem that most industries have got a handle on it, even in nations traditionally bearded and robed. There are nations like India where people tear down whole ships in their underpants. Western litigation paranoia seems to be responsible for the mindset that its impossible to use a band-saw without goggles and a helmet...

Policemen throughout the ages have HAD beards. Probably the only good reason to not have a beard as a copper would be that it might give a bad guy something to hang on to, but I've never known that actually come up in a fight, and I'm sure that the Indian military would have mentioned it at some point.
Its quite easy to create "Turban-friendly" safety gear or whatever. The only problems with religious dress and these matters is facial identification, and certain jobs where the headgear is vital to the running of a machine (such as piloting a military aircraft or being in space say.)

Or how about a giant lathe?
A low accident rate in countries for which headscarves and turbans are customary, might be explained by workplace exceptions to cultural dress codes as required in each instance, and people not being idiots about it.

So what? Why shouldn't she be able to?
See above.
Why should they be required to shave their beard?
And there's the winning move.
A Disney cast member isn't so much in a uniform as they are in a costume. A uniform can, in some cases, be adapted to include religious headgear. A costume, however, is a different matter.
But the question becomes, how integral is the costume to the performance that Disney is selling. If the race of the cast member is irrelevant to the visual integrity of the performance, cannot religious headgear be designed that incorporates with the costume?
