John Oliver has a pretty good video about it. I never knew it existed either until I saw that. Actually learned a lot about the difference in hair care requirements for people of different races, really enlightening.

For those interested, John Oliver's segment on the hair discrimination in the US

Thanks, I wasn't really as aware as I should have been of this issue. That's pretty fucked up.

Chris Rock made a whole HBO documentary about it years ago. Black women's hair. Which is ironic given the whole Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith thing and how the news ran with it

Get better hair bro, problem solved lol

But also, how stupid is this? How do you prove your hair is the reason people discriminate on you? Prove, not think.
