It's kind of artsy, and it seems it was meant to be fun and different... I mean, you guys remember this, right? http://narratethenatural.wordpress.com/2009/02/09/korean-fro-flavour/ I found that flattering. Unusual, but flattering, though obviously a different context... However, I have to disagree with people who say it's silly to be offended. I am not offended by this, but i understand why someone with different experiences and a different perspective might be. The comparison to black women who wear weaves just doesn't cut it, we live in a society where blacks are a minority, and women with afro textured hair an even further minority. It means something different when a white person wears an afro than when a black woman wears straight hair. It shouldn't, but given the history of our society, it simply does.

It's fashion, it's drama, it's art, it's extravagance, it's outlandish. It is purposely cartoonish. That doesn't mean it's supposed to reflect an attitude about Black people. It is not a racial thing. It's not about you. And yes, I am Black. Yes you are being o.ver.ly sensitive. It’s fashion, it’s drama, it’s art, it’s extravagance, it’s outlandish.
