But the original comment was way different, wasn't it?

Yeaaaaah, I think it was worth a corrective comment, not a long-ass thread with a bunch of misunderstanding in it, where "race" gets repeatedly used like it's scientific and not bullshit, and you really went to bat hard on a side issue of baldness in the bigger political issue, while appearing to argue against a vulnerable population's safe spaces.

People tried to school you because you seem to have a watered down view of racism. I suspect you're not North American maybe, where things are pretty tense on the topic.

Yep. I'm from southern europe.

And for what it's worth the lecture was indeed interesting. And I learned about the relationships of African American hair saloons, black culture and racism. I had some sense of it based on classic movies, but this roots the knowledge about the topic further down.
