yea but he doesn’t look cute only the seme was cute to me , the uke couldve been cute but the locs
THANK YOU !!!! I am also a black person n I hate when people try to tell me what is and what isn’t offensive to OUR community like babe you’re not even one of us ..
from the first sentence I know damn well not to trust a black person like you bye
please tell your friend to remove them cus it’s not for her hair one .. and two black people literally went thru hell and back just to be able to wear our hairstyles without it being weird or dirty or unprofessional..
I really appreciate your words '◡'
I showed her the whole discussion, and she said "If appreciating someone's culture and liking them makes us seem rude, I'll just change, I hope you people end up with amazing hairstyle".
Exactly(づ￣ ³￣)づ
One what right do you have to tell someone you don't know and haven't met to tell their friend take a hairstyle out of their own head, are u the hairstyle police.
Two how do you know they dont have the hair type for dreadlocks, if ur ignorance has beseeched u and a simple google search wasn't worth our time not only black people have the hair type for dreadlocks.
Three do u know how ignorant it sounds to tell someone they can't put a dang hairstyle in their own hair because their skin isn't dark. I would go as far as to say it's borderline racist cause ur telling someone they can't do something because their skin isn't a certain color, something black people have had a problem with for over a millennium. I would get it if u say they can't wear dreads cause their not Rastafarian, because dreads have a significant cultural meaning to Rastafarians, but ur argument is they can't wear it cause biologically they just so happened to not have enough melanin in their skin to make it dark all the while referring to struggles black people had because their skin was a certain color, something no one can control and shouldn't be criticized for as it is biological, very hypocritical of u.
And lastly, again for the hundredth time dreads is a HAIRSTYLE, one that doesn't belong to black people or no specific race of people for that matter. There was never a problem with dreads, it's white people that were racist that wanted to make problems unprovoked and as a result, we were shit on for dreads as people with darker skin were the ones that predominantly wore deads, because melanin in the hair is what causes the hair type for dreads, that and the Rastafarian movement in Jamaica. Of course, this is me simplifying historical events, there is much more that happened but that isn't that topic rn.
If anything Rastafarians should be the ones complaining as it's part of their culture, not black peoples. And just because ur black doesn't mean ur Rastafarian. The point is black people don't own the rights to a hairstyle that has been around far before racism, white colonialism, the Rastafarian movement, heck even Jesus christ and they sure don't have any kind of authority to tell someone what they can and can't put in their own hair.
Just because a couple of ignorant people over the internet factual and historically informed or culturally or spiritually enlightened to any degree, and yes I'm saying what their spouting is utter garbage for the most part about only black people should wear areads, doesn't mean ur friend needs tontake a hairstyle out her own hair(づ￣ ³￣)づ
Btw ur friend is a keeper, she was so respectful and considerate even to people that don't deserve it and who were rude to her.ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
Thank you very much for your kind words ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ, I really hope you have a blessed day and life ahead of you (⌒▽⌒), again thank you very very much from both of us, we really appreciate your words <3
Ik this conversation is prob over n sorry for bringing it back up but uh yeah the dreads r kinda weird ngl. Im personally okay with certain Asians who had history with I forgot the name but it’s not dreads but it looks exactly like dreads and they use tht as a protective hairstyle of their own and has their own history but other Asians (like Russians ect.) who literally have no historical connection with black protective hairstyles like afros or box braids or white people who literally have zero reason to need protective hairstyles other than for appearance it’s just weird. Let me elaborate: it’s weird how when I was a kid wearing box braids was deemed a distraction and lil white kids will openly cut off my hair and nothing will be done and instead I’ll get in trouble for coming to school like that. It’s a lil weird how if I wore an Afro to school I will be called ugly and weird but now other races with afros are deemed inspirational and attractive… It’s weird when I wore a durag the teachers called the police because she assumed I was in a gang and selling drugs on school… but now it’s just “a fashionable thing so I don’t have to do my hair in the morning and still look good.” I get random tickets if the cops can’t see my eyes through my kinky Afro… even while driving properly. It’s just weird growing up black women are called ghetto and ugly even by black men for doing these protective hairstyles and now all of a sudden a non-black does it, it’s applause worthy never done before. It’s not the hairstyle Thts offensive it’s how ppl treat u with tht hairstyle Thts offensive. People back than and even now connect ghettoness and unprofessional to black people when they have protective hairstyles but when an Asian or white person does it suddenly their beautiful and appreciating the culture. It’s just weird, and maybe I’m just jealous tbh. I’m jealous tht I’m the hairless ugly monkey when I do these beautiful hairstyles but non-blacks are changing the fashion history. Like can we not just have this one thing tht is so deep-rooted without being called sensitive or rude. Can we pls have this one thing tht we try to empower youn black people with. Why does it suddenly become an issue when black people just want to gatekeep something so skin deep. Every race has specific hairstyles to protect their hairs with but y do ppl want to do badly use hairstyles specifically for 4C or kinky hair??? It’s just weirdddd. Most black people don’t Asianfish because we understand how disrespectful it is to change ur appearance so drastically that you look more a certain race than tht race does. Idk about Asians but if I saw someone in a sexualized kimono/hanbok (not a regular kimono but one tht is provocative) with chopsticks in their hair I would find it extremely inappropriate and borderline offensive because if you look at the history of kimonos and hanboks it has deep rooted meanings and it’s weird sexualizing something as elegant and pure as tht. I have enough morals to know if I’m going to put on a kimono or hanbok I’ll wear it with the upmost respect it deserves. I’ve worn many Cheongsam, Hanfu and hanboks in my days (because my adopted family are predominately Chinese and Korean so for certain traditions I would have to wear those) and Idk how many times a white girl online has commented “This is Asianfishing stop sexualizing Asians.” And when u proceed on their profile their dressed in a skimpy Japanese school girl uniform. But when I wear those traditional dresses I still act like me. When I speak Chinese Or Korean I don’t suddenly change my whole personality to be strict or cutesy but when people wear protective hairstyles they suddenly start acting like a stereotypical black person, like being loud, eating hot Cheetos, overally long ass nails, start clapping everytime they want to make a point or in an argument. So it just feels out of place when they didn’t act like that before but all of a sudden they using AAVE or they start saying shit like “I’m 2% [certain black ethnicity]” But uses Jamaican dialect… It’s just weirdddddddddd. And Idk how to tell you how weird that issssssss. Sorry now I’m rambling but my point is people nowadays are turning historical traditions into a fashion statement when it shouldn’t be. Don’t turn kimonos, hanboks, cheongsam and hanfu into a Halloween costume and don’t gaslight black people into thinking their insensitive for wanting to gatekeep literally probably the only thing they can control in America. Idk y this is only an issue in America tho. When I go to Haiti no non-black person there is wearing protective hairstyles and even in China and Korea at least nowadays they have not really stopped but the amount of people have definitely died down. I’ve had Koreans come up to me and ask me “hey I’ve been thinking of getting this hairstyle and I just want to know if it’s offensive.” And all I have to tell them is you’re going to loose a lot of hair or even go bald if not done properly, or ur gonna be washing oil out ur hair for weeeeeeks & they usually don’t like tht idea and decide not to. But for the people who still want them I tell them I’ll do it for you & I’ll do a couple of braids (not their whole head, just a couple so don’t come at me) and I’ll show them how to style it so it doesn’t look like their being disrespectful but just trying to actually appreciate the look. And you know Whts the difference between them and Americans is???? They act the same exact mf wayyyyyy they don’t start saying nigga nigga nigga everytime they talk to someone and they don’t suddenly forget how to speak like they usually do. They are for the most part very professional and friendly. Ok so now I’m done with my 2 cents Srry for bringing this back up again.
Ok so the hairstyle for Asians tht look exactly like dreads/braids is called Sikha. I forgot which person who had the friend with dreads, if they had Sikha than they wasn’t appropriating dreads but uve been saying dreads so I doubt it was Sikha. Sikha did originally come from India (yes India is in Asia) but it had become so popular that it migrated all the way to Japan. Either way if your friend wants dreads than maybe tell her about Sikha and see if anyone around her does Sikha. First do your research because it came from Hinduism so Idk if it has a religious meaning I didn’t look to hard up on it but even Buddhists wore Sikha so I’m not sure on religion aspect. And I’m on saying Sikha for the Asians who want dreads so white people pls don’t take this and run with it and start saying “these are not dreads these are Sikha’s” because you could be appropriating a religion and a race at the same time. If y’all white people really want a protective hairstyle tht looks like dreads but aren’t dreads I’ll research it for you, but I doubt I’ll find anything because black, & Asians have a lot more genetic similarities so Thts y Sikha’s work for Asians. I really think y’all just don’t have the hair DNA for some of these hairstyles so just… uh don’t. But if u so badly want a protective hairstyle of your own that is not appropriateing any races or religion it’s a matter of research and if you don’t want to do it. I’ll do it for you, I’m planning on going to study hair styles so I’ll need the knowledge anyways.
Ok So white people so far you have a fucking lot… idk y u want other races hairstyles but your protective hairstyles are 1. Chignons, 2. French braids, 3. French Twist, 4. Twisted Rope Braids, 5. And a bunch of different type of braids and buns. Than again it all depends on what type of hair you have if you have 1a hair search protective hairstyles for tht type of hair. If u have 2b than search up tht type of hairstyles and if you have 3c ur most likely mixed and your hair will be able to withstand the weight of box breads and dreads without you thinning and becoming bald. And if anything y’all can wear wigs unless it’s a Afro wig, kinky wig, coily wig, dread wig ect. Any other type of wigs are perfectly find. I don’t know if cornrows would work for y’all but when you wear a wig do some type of braids like cornrows and make it nice and tight and than do the usual wig laying. Just search on how to lay wigs for white people and some videos of white people putting wigs on should pop up. There are plenty of hairstyles people aren’t gatekeeping from y’all, Idk y some of y’all want the ones tht will probably ruin ur hair and ur scalp & make u look flat out dumb asf tbh.
Thank you and ur welcomeヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~ don't worry to much about small stuff like that, also cani take u guys up on the offer to help dress in a kimono since the other person most likely wouldn't want it lol, i so wanna dress in a traditional kimono one of these days(๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Thank you for dictating what I am and am not allowed to do with my hair as a white woman ^^
So does that mean all those hairstyles are exclusive to us ? So non-white people can't wear chignons or French braids, or dye their hair blond ? Such an interesting and not at all racist view of the world !
It's not that we dictate what is or isn't offensive to you, it's that we don't care <3 Or is my offense at your racist and ignorant comment less important that your offense because I'm white ? Interesting, but I would say that I disagree
...so let me get it straight. You're angry that people are no longer discriminating against black people for their hair but in fact that aspects that are considered to be "of black culture" (even though locks are not specific to black people and only an ignorant American could think something so stupid) are so widely accepted now that people of other races adopt them ? You do realize that that is dumb, racist and illogical, right ?
No you don't
hot asf ! but the locs .. yea no .. he’s not black :|
