This is how society needs to be. Instead of tormenting her on stuff she doesn't understand, they introduced her to their culture. They celebrated their culture and shared it amongst others like it was meant to be.

[@Toramai-pi8wx]

But here’s the thing people tend to appropriate that culture. Pluck things from their culture that have great significance to them and make them “cool“ meanwhile they still get penalized for that piece of culture that white people made cool. I understand that not all white people understand the prejudices or are aware of them, but the thing is is that a lot of white people when pointed out these fallacies tend to get very angry and defensive. They pull out the arguments of “I’m totally not a racist.” But instead of trying to actually learn about the culture and learn about the biases and prejudices that had permeated through the centuries, they tend to want to bury their heads and pretend that they are enlightened because they treat Black people semi nicely when they’re not thinking of stereotypes.

I was listening to a reddit post some time ago about a dad who had a mixed daughter with 4c hair. His wife had died recently and he had NO IDEA how to care for her hair, because that was mom and daughter's ritual and bonding time. A teacher at the school noticed the girl's hair becoming unkempt and helped her. The dad showed up after school to ask the teacher to help him learn about his daughter's hair, and to thank her for helping his little girl. Eventually he got connected with a local natural hair stylist and learned formally how to do hair for his daughter. He did her hair for her graduation. Guys, I was sniffling in my car. It was adorable.😊

My best friend is Black and I'm hispanic/white. I bought her clippers and taught her how to shave her head because that's what she wanted and she was using scissors to try her best. I won't touch her hair with scissors, but she used to let me help with her twists sometimes. I'm not confident in sectioning, but I love that we get to style and play with each other's hair. It's easy to shy away because something takes more energy or is unfamiliar. And it's easy to make someone feel like an idiot for not knowing what's basic practice for someone else. It takes just a little effort, but it's not too hard to be kind to others and to want to help and not make someone feel bad for existing in a space that's new to them. ❤

This actually made me tear up because it reminds me so much of my situation. I was attacked at 14 which resulted in me becoming pregnant. My plan was to give the baby up for adoption but at my 8 month ultrasound I asked to see the baby and I immediately fell in love with my daughter and chose to raise her. I'm white and I grew up in a town with a very small black population so I knew nothing about what my daughter's hair needed. We eventually moved to a town with a much more equal black to white population and some girls from school took me shopping to show me what I needed to buy to keep my daughter's hair healthy. One girl even came to my house to show me how to properly moisturize her scalp. I hope they know how much everything they did meant to me. My daughter is 17 now and actually does hair herself, she loves braiding and has a few clients that she regularly braids.

But yes, in an ideal utopia, everyone would know the right thing to do and we would not have to face such hardships. Though, I feel thinking like this is terrible. To try and obtain the untainable, it aint gonna work. To also answer your question, society is large and varied. We learn by generation, sadly. It takes time to be kind to others. I mean, look at the lgbtq+ community. It took us years to be somewhat accepted and we're still demonized for being ourselves. Though, the things happening in the movie, it does happen.

Not to randomly adopt a black child lol, but more because she reminded me about what it means to respect a child and raise them to be who they are.
