--Are dreadlocks a good example of cultural..... They're not an example of her culture, unless she is from Ancient Greece, between the 6th and 8th centuries BC. That was the earliest reference I could find to the wearing of dreadlocks.

--Who was in the right? She was being an idiot. He was in the right. He was wearing his hairstyle of choice, and it had nothing to do with her. She had no right to accost him.

--Is it justifiable to put hands on someone you believe has committed a microaggression? No. A "microaggression" is in the perception of the person taking offense. If she perceived his stupid hairstyle as aggressive toward her, that was her own issue. Accosting someone and putting your hands on them because YOU have decided they deserve it is not acceptable nor legal.
See answer above.
