What I love about most Americans is that they are only aware of like two cultures and assume everything comes from them.

I know I don’t speak for all black people, but for me personally as a black woman, I did not feel offended at all, people seem to forget that there’s a difference between culture appropriation and culture appreciation. She likes the hairstyle and wasn't making fun of it.

Dear Americans,
Please learn the difference.
