Oh my goodness! Toe binding?! Sounds super painful!šŸ˜¬ I am glad you shared your story because Iā€™ve read somewhere that Asians tend to have thicker hair than Blacks, hence why itā€™s hard to curl.

I never knew this because we are told we have tough hair as blacks but in actuality Black hair is very, very fragile and can break off very easily. Including those ā€œedgesā€ people tease us about sometimes.

Itā€™s interesting to note that POC always try for the ā€œwhiteā€ looks like blonde hair/blue eyes. Even Black people try for this, and Poor Michael Jackson had extremely low self esteem according to the biopic The Jacksons(a great movie). It is sad because now I love standing out from the rest. The whole world canā€™t be blonde and blue eyes!šŸ˜¬šŸ¤Ŗ
