I must note that the strangers who address my hair most readily are black men. When I say “my hair” I’m talking primarily about the designs in my undercut.
Consider hair patterns and where might rest the ability to carry a shaved design. People with fine or fair hair are not holding designs against their scalp. This is just an interesting fact.
Another interesting fact is that human beings tend to appreciate the familiar.
As a biracial, white kid who feels deeply of color on the inside, I am always grateful for the recognition.
