Five Year Old Kentucky Boy Shaves His Head To Look Like His Best Friend

Reddy was adopted with his older brother from the Democratic Republic of Congo in 2014 by local pastor Kevin Weldon and his wife Debbie.

Jax Rosebush and Reddy Weldon, five, live in Louisville, Kentucky, and attend preschool together.

Recently, Jax pleaded with his mother to have his hair cut to match his black best friend’s in the innocent hope their teacher would no longer be able to tell them apart.

She shared his request on Facebook, telling friends: ‘The only difference Jax sees in the two of them is their hair.’
The little boys have since gone viral and, to Jax’s delight, now have matching haircuts.

In her original Facebook post, Lidia said: ‘He said that he wanted his head shaved really short so he could look like his friend Reddy.

‘He said he couldn’t wait to go to school on Monday with his hair like Reddy’s so that his teacher wouldn’t be able to tell them apart. He thought it would be so hilarious to confuse his teacher with the same haircut.’

She posted a photograph of the pair from Christmas time, adding: ‘I’m sure you all see the resemblance’.

‘If this isn’t proof that hate and prejudice is something that is taught I don’t know what is.’
