[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many points in the article remind me of when I went to private school in the US.  I was just thinking about the hair touching.  I went to a predominantly black elementary school and rarely saw anyone white but it never occurred to me when I switched to a predominately white private school to try touch someone's hair that was different and ask lots of questions.[/quote]

Do you know that white women touch each other's hair? In HS we would braid each other's hair. [/quote]

I have very rarely seen a white girl or woman walk up and touch or stroke another white woman's hair without permission. Totally different from braiding circles. And yes, I am a white woman who has braided lots of hair. I remember being really surprised when I braided one friend's hair; she had gorgeous thick, red hair, but it was horribly coarse. Not what I was expecting. But anyway, you always ask first; it's common sense. That goes for any body part, frankly.[/quote]
