Hmmm. Did you ever want to touch white people's hair? I teach in an inner city public high school and honestly, my kids touch my hair all time. Some try to be subtle — they will hug me, but they are actually feeling my hair (it's about halfway down my back). Others have just come right up to me and picked up a…

I know what it is like to have people touch my hair without permission. It happens all the time. I have had people come up to me and grab a hunk of my hair with their thumb and forefinger and rub. I have had people pretend to hug me, but I feel them patting my hair. I have had people BEG to braid my hair. These…

Then it's HILARIOUS! I would LOVE to see someone pull this prank on the wrong person and wind up dead. We don't need people in the world who pull these pranks.

I guess I wasn't quite clear — I was talking about TWO different schools. One had the Latino principal who wouldn't hire white women. That department was multi-cultural. The other school I worked in had the all-white department.

Whoa. Why is it NOT right to us "the female" or "the male" as a noun? Can you cite your source? You say you are a grammar nerd — I need a source!

All this talk about ethnicity and asking about where people are from has made me think about certain incidents in my life.

It has never bothered me if people ask about my ethnicity. I am one of those people who could be Jewish, Italian, Greek, Latino, what is she? It depends on who is looking, but no one thinks I am Scandinavian, although to some people I am just "white." I learned a lot about the way different people see race — and…

The hair thing. Oh, yes the hair thing. I have spent fifteen years with people touching my hair nearly EVERY SINGLE DAY. I kid you not. Rarely a day would go buy without someone either touching my hair boldly or surreptitiously.

You sound so awesome — so smart — so normal — so...not like you are looking for something to be offended about! What are you doing on jezebel, site for those who like to call everyone racist? You sound like you just accept that people are curious — and welcome that as a good thing (which it IS — do we want people…

Oh, goody! Let's talk about dresses! I liked it from the back (no, not just Pippa's butt, although that was very nice). I liked the buttons. However, I didn't like that weird fabric dip thing on the front at all.

How dare you criticize Pippa Middleton! After all, MyPrettyFloralBonnet — you are the one who married you a powerful ugly creature! Or — wait — you ARE the powerful ugly creature...in the pretty floral bonnet (still can't and never will get over your awesome nym).

Hey, hey, hey now. I am not crazy about the woman, but I don't dislike her. It's a bit much to call someone Gwyneth Paltrow-y. I mean, Gwyneth is Satan's emissary here on earth...Pippa Middleton is just a normal human with a great ass and a famous sister.

Whaaaa? You never think about Pippa Middleton? You mean...you might actually have a life?! Silly Jezebel reader! You clearly need to prioritize!

Thank you for telling me her name! I felt like such a geek yesterday, saying, "You know, G-d, the one who is, um, lowercase_ink's niece, um, well, you know everything anyway." I was scared my husband would walk in on me and say, "What?" I will be saying her name with intent, when I light the candles or do certain…

Have you been called a racist yet for acknowledging that there is a belief that black men like women with a big ass? Wait — it has happened to me. You are supposed to pretend you never heard that and it's not true.

Why wouldn't you tell him that in the first place? What's wrong with him wanting to know. You don't know WHY he wanted to know — who are you to assume he wanted to know for some bad reason?

I love accents, too!

I have been praying for your niece since I made that post. I have made a promise that I will think of her every time I light the Sabbath candles for the next month. I am telling you — amazing things can happen! They happened for my friend. They can happen for your niece and I think (and pray) they will.

Oh — it's Jayne! Well said, Jayne! Well said, indeed! :-)

Um, I cannot tell you how much extra credit you deserve for writing something this hilarious, nor how many A+'s. You actually deserve A+'s FOREVER!
