Is it normal that he yanked to see if my hair was real?
I barely even want to talk to my friend anymore (who didn't do anything) because of this. I was hanging out in her room and her guy friend jokingly asked if my 'shit' (like how some people say about their food "this shit is good" which is kind of bleh to say) was even real, then pulled my ponytail, hard. After he realized it was real and let go I was just sitting there like what the ducking fuck and my friend was looking at me with wide eyes. No apology. She didn't say anything to him. I left. He probably thinks he did nothing wrong checking to see if the dark girl's hair was fake or not. I'm so sad about this. Is it normal for people to assume that if a black girl has long hair it's fake? A lot of us have stopped getting the chemicals (relaxers/"perms" which some people call it since it straightens permanently, although there are a special few who could grow their hair even with those harsh chemicals with the right care) that broke our hair off in the first place.
