Well, my boyfriend's sister can't get a flu shot because she's allergic to eggs, but she's also at risk of dying from the flu because she's asthmatic. So I'll prey she doesn't run into selfish ol' you while you're spreading presymptomatic flu germs around just because you're counting on fighting it off with "rest and…

"An ex-boyfriend of mine once said a particular belly dancer looked like a man b/c she was muscular." So he said that, but he actually meant it was her face? OK.

PRECISELY.

"And while it's legal to take photos of people in public, it's just as legal to post factual information about a person online. That's the joy of the First Amendment. It protects Redditors' rights to take and post creepy, sleezy photos, and it's my right to tell the world that you're a creepy sleeze who takes creepy,…

It's only not racist if you ignore that it's actually harder for someone with kinky hair to grow it long, you clown. The kinks hide the length! You know, plus it grows up, not down. And it might be harder to take care of. Yes, it's sexist. It's also racist.

Yes. Exactly. Racism and sexism are about your actions, not your state of mind.

Wait, so you agree, that "PC" was coined as a slur and a silencing tactic, but you're using it anyway? Huh?

You know, racism and sexism are not always completely separate things. They often intersect! Imagine that!

Well, yes, but she might not want to spend a lot of time caring for natural hair. Hence, keeping it short. I see a lot more black women than white women with very short hair and it's not by coincidence. I have a feeling the guy who asked the question knew nil about the nature or care of black hair. And, again,…

Well, that's just icky.

I think you should institute a new policy where you laugh every time a white woman says something about her hair. If anyone asks you why, tell them that she must be awfully rich to spend that much time, money, and attention on her hair. Ask her if she lives in a gated community with all the other vapid white people.…

You know, I kind of wish people with racist attitudes would actually just come right out and own them rather than hiding behind all these mealy-mouthed codewords. It's like, they clearly know they're not supposed to come right out and say "black people are silly!" but they can't just keep their mouths shut entirely?…

Yes, taking the time to honestly answer a question is more respectful than simply ignoring the question. The only time anyone disagrees with this is when the answer exposes the ignorance of the person answering the question. You ask a question, you get an answer. Simple as that.

Yes, exactly.

How is that overreaching? That's not even an interpretation. That is literally what he said.

Yes, exactly. His comparison to poverty is particularly obtuse. It's not about how she grew up, it's about HOW HER HAIR GROWS OUT OF HER HEAD.

Yes. Thank you. It's about that REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT HE WAS ALREADY AWARE OF THAT. You ask a question, you get an answer.

Yes. I actually think it's entirely possible that this man was ignorant of how black hair grows. But I completely reject the notion that people displaying ignorance have some sort of "right" not to be corrected or that correcting people's misconceptions is disrespectful or rude. He asked why her hair was so short and…

Yes. Thank you.
