I am black with locs for 14 years. I gotten compliments from people that I wouldn’t expect and have received hate from black people saying I should cut them for jobs. ( never had problem with employment) Lin does not bother me cause who cares.

It’s a hair style. Get over it.
Do Black women need to stop straightening their hair then, or wearing wigs that have straight locks?
Maybe we should go back to culture specific attire as well? Which culture was the first to wear pants?
This over-analysation and cultural appropriation police is way out of control.

I don’t get the impression that this guy is pretending.

Thanks for the tip. I do want to support local distributors though. In the end, I’d love to support the anime efforts for One Piece. (even the filler is pretty ok with One Piece). So I’ll look into it.

I AM SO HYPE. MY BODY IS READY!!!

My intent was to summarize my position on this issue: I definitely agree that Abigail’s design is way out in left field in terms of sheer physical size, but I view his…
