Why do white people always want to touch black women's hair?

I get this a lot. When I change my hairstyle my white coworkers always want to touch my hair. I feel it's rude!!! Please someone explain.



Why do white people always want to touch black women's hair?

We arent trying to be rude. We just want to see how it feels. Like me for instance, I cant understand when you get your hair up and looking pretty, how does it not go flat when you go to sleep? If I fixed my hair like that it would probably go flat before I laid down on it. Anyways, we arent trying to be rude we are just curious



Why do white people always want to touch black women's hair?

Black people's hair has a very different structure and therefore texture than white people's hair. I at least find it fascinating. However, if it bothers you, just say no when they ask and make it clear that it makes you uncomfortable.

*shrugs* Never felt a black woman's hair before, but now that you mention it... what does it feel like?? curiosity!



Why do white people always want to touch black women's hair?

It's different, not all white people have tons of black friends. It's nice to see something new. Some people just like to touch everything!



Why do white people always want to touch black women's hair?

Sweetie... I have lots of black friends and NO I have have or wanted to touch their hair. They don't touch mine... I don't get it? You don't go around touching peoples hair..



Why do white people always want to touch black women's hair?

Because it fascinates them and they wish they could get there hair to act and do what yours can do.



Why do white people always want to touch black women's hair?

eeeww gross...i hate it when somebody touches me on the fly. it is something different than they have..natural curiosity..for the same reason people touch shaved heads



Why do white people always want to touch black women's hair?

I am not sure. But when I went to school I was one of the only white girls and a few black girls asked to touch my hair so I think it goes both ways. But I think people want to find out about the unkown they cannot help themselves.

Maybe they wan't to know where the top end is.



Why do white people always want to touch black women's hair?

cause man we are a beautiful culture our skin hair body shape i mean there is no other way to put it but i have never wanted to touch a white persons hair if they want to touch yours hey oh and i am far from prejudice my boyfriend to white



Why do white people always want to touch black women's hair?

I`m sure they don`t mean it in a bad way but if it frustrates you that much tell them, it`s just something different to their hair.Some people like different.



Why do white people always want to touch black women's hair?

well black women are always wanting to touch my hair too but it doesn't bother me I personally wanted to touch a black woman's hair to see if it felt the way it looked but it's not a bad thing just curious not an insult or anything like that, i just think's it's cool that we are all so different and yet so alike



Why do white people always want to touch black women's hair?

People get curious when see something different from what they have. But you are right, your coworkers should stop touching your hair, tell them directly that you don't like it.



Why do white people always want to touch black women's hair?

Um, I don't want to touch anyone's hair. That's weird.



Why do white people always want to touch black women's hair?

I have to say, I am white, but I have a neice who is black (she was adopted). My brother makes quite a bit of money so she likes to go and have different things done with her hair and I am guilty of wanting to touch it, it's because I love it and not for any other reason. I have had my hair done and people will say "your hair looks so soft" and they will touch it, it doesn't bother me.



I find a lot of black people to be very attractive and the different hairstyles black women have is quite interesting and I would love to touch it, but I don't (only my neice).



I can understand why you would think it's rude, but it's out of curiosity and when people want to touch it, take it as a compliment but tell them you don't like other people touching your hair.



Why do white people always want to touch black women's hair?

when I was a child my black friends always wanted to play with my hair and braid and stuff ..its rude for adults I agree I am a white woman with dreads and long braids and people at work grab at my hair like its a freak show or something..I think its cause Im white with a black hairstyle..they cant deal



Why do white people always want to touch black women's hair?

put your self in their shoes, your hair should be tempting



they are like a child who see something beautiful



Why do white people always want to touch black women's hair?

I would guess because of the intricate designs and styles used in black women's hair. Many white women do not have hair that can be easily molded into small works of art or sculptures. I have seen some beautiful dos in my day. I have never touched anyone's hair however. My son has a similar problem, whenever we meet a Hispanic or Phillipino woman they will touch his blonde curls and in hispanic culture it is kind of like bleesing him, or so I've been told.

I don't think this is true. I have never asked a black woman if I could touch her hair and I have never seen any white person ask a black person if they could touch their hair. Who are your co-workers? Next time they ask just say no, you spent a lot of time on your hair and you don't want people touching it. Or you could tell them that you think it's really weird that they are always asking to touch your hair.
