Hey so basically there’s this girl at school who has been wearing cornrows for like 4 days in a row. She’s white so its making me feel rly uncomfortable- I want to call her out but i dont know her at all. My school haven’t said anything but they won’t coz my schools basically white (I’m mixed asian-white). Am i overeacting/should I just leave it?
You're overreacting. People can have their hair however they want
Edit: I hate how these American influenced problems are starting to encourage people here in the U.K. Like come on, do you guys really want to be following the people who got Trump into the White House.
Cornrows don't belong to any culture. Many ancient cultures from very different parts of the world featured them. So yeah you are overreacting and probably should leave her alone.
Coz its appropriation Why the hell are you answering if ur gonna insult me- let me guess stalking forums just so u can get a petty jab in
Cultural appropriation is the most stupid, hippy **** ever. No culture owns anything. People can wear whatever they want. This whole thing became popular from the Kardashians having cornrows and black women thinking it inappropriate....the same black women who choose to not keep their real hair and wear a weave instead to have their hair look like other ethnicities.
What exaclty do all you cultural appropriation lot want? it is tantamount to be against sharing ideas. Like each culture has intelectual property over it's own culture and enyone on the outside can get ****ed. Culture is stealing stuff.

Black people have to wear weaves. Otherwise they'd be discriminated against and even if they wear weaves, they're still discriminated against for having "nappy hair". It's the result of white supremacy.

The only ancient culture I can think of is the Mesopotamians and Kushites (poc)

You're way too offended. ****ing grow up. This culture appropriation ******** just pisses me off. It's actually the most stupid debate to come up. Don't straighten your hair, if you can't stand people wanting to have a certain haircut. Are buzz-cuts off bounds also? Nobody owns style.
Please, as a friend, tell her to take it out within this week! It's not supposed to be worn by people of her hair type and she could permanently damage her hair!
Are the cornrows to the scalp or what? I'm scared for her...

Oh don't pity yourself. If black women kept their hair and it was a common thing. By now, no one would have a problem with it and don't act like it's all white people's fault. It's their own fault for not having the confidence to pull off their natural hair.
