Person: Hey why's your hair like that?

Me: Like what? Straight?

Person: Yeah, I thought colored girls like you only wore your hair curly or like an afro.

Me: That depends if they want their hair like that...just let them be and let them do whatever they want to their hair.

Person: Okay, just saying...

Me: *You said quite enough already...*

Alternative:

Person: Hey, how come you leave your hair curly or an afro?

Me: Because it's natural and I want it to be that way.

Person: Ohh, I thought at least you would have it straight like some other colored girls do to look a bit proper and white, and maybe then people could see if all of that makes it long enough for a hair. Or maybe you just want to express your African heritage and things!

Me: Excuse me?!

Person: Nothing!

Me: *how much ignorance or tolerance do I have to deal with in this world?!*

So yup, people judge you either if you have your hair straight and flat iron or leave it natural...mind your business unless you're insecure about your one hair!!
