Looks super interesting. My husband once made the mistake of telling his black female coworker (jokingly) that her hair was looking “nappy” and boy did she flip out. She said white folks should never use that word. Who knew?

We had a discussion about this in my social psych class a couple weeks ago. My professor said black women straightened their hair because “white is beautiful” and straightening your hair is racist.
What a delightfully simplistic world your professor lives in!
