When I worked at Starbucks I used to compliment white people on how articulate they were and it was delightfully hilarious
A white woman just told me she loves that I have the confidence to wear my natural hair. I told her, I love the fact that sheโ€™s confident enough to wear hers too. She got the point. Very quickly.
