[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] "Touch a black girls hair" - OMG - where do you come up with this stuff.[/quote] It's actually an *incredibly well-known complaint* of black women that white women ask to touch their hair. You really need to educate yourself. I chalk this all up again to DC's lack of cosmopolitanism in the upper middle class, and in particular a lack of exposure to Asians. In more truly multicultural places with a bigger Asian population (I'm thinking SF, NYC) it's just UNDERSTOOD that it's rude for a white person to grill a "minority" about where they came from; and it's definitely a faux pas to assume that Asians are some monolithic culture (like, they all celebrate Chinese New Years). It's not like some catastrophic racial slur to do so; it's just understood to be rude. [/quote]
