It still goes on. My second son looks "just about white" and was harranged by students last year at his college, students of the white variety btw, about having his hair braded, blah blah. Of course he told them to Go f*** themselves, but it went on for a couple of months. They are just thickos. He is mixed race, his Mum is black and they are whiteys fighting someone else's fight with no idea what they are on about or fighting for!
That is just weird. My nephew is mixed race and just about the most popular kid in Bitterne Park! I guess it depends where you are. I think he does his hair differently every week, by the way. Even seen him with the dreaded cornrows of cultural appropriation fame
I have a Washington Redskins t-shirt, with the Indian head logo, which has been cancelled by the club, who are no longer called the Redskins due to sensitivity to cultural appropriation issues. My mixed race American friend complimented me on it. She's mostly Mexican heritage, rather Mohican or whatever. But I think most people actually ignore that ****.
Well when I said Braids it is more cornrows with Braids hanging from the back and sides. I'm not that wired into the terminology of traditionally black hair styling. Looks a mess when it isn;t done like that though because mixed he has neither afro hair nor whitey hair so it it just a big frizz. lol
Lol. I am actually much more patient and very non confrontational face to face. autism for me is much more a case of avoiding people, avoiding conversation with anyone I am not very comfortable and back down on any argument so I can walk away and get on with my life. lol
