nik3 i do believe sometime blacks can overreact about alot of racial issues but sometimes whites can try to be sarcastic or make indirect satements with overt intention .for example most white say to me some time out of ignorance,why do you brush your hair it doesnt move or anything almost like carpet.to that we have to correct them.now this situation could have been totaly innocent but i have low tolerance for white ignorance.psyco racial i dont know but whites do need to be corrected if they say something out of line or entertaining to there friend,this is why i wrote this forum in question form racism or compliment because i didnt want to feel like the joke was on me , love your waves and thx for a different perspective.

My teacher .. [he's mixed tho.. rican/white] Stopped class ..(because I constantly rub my hair in class because of that GROOMING rule) to compliment me on my waves... suprised he knew what waves were ... he was like

(Damn.. Your waves are spinnin' sick over there)... and he messed it up afterward w/ a lame joke

Coming from a MULTI RACIAL BACKGROUND .. won't go into details.. but my family reunions are a mess...
I sort of understand the white people

I have been asked by my asian/white friends about my waves ...just questions that you mind find offensive/dumb/ etc.... but I just think it was a compliment ..

Basically I guess you can apply the (learn something new everyday rule)
It's just like you question some of the things white people do or say...


oh yea and...

Why do blk peeps have to go all Psycho Racial when they are asked a question by a white person? I don't really get that serious unless it's an obvious insult ...

I think most white people just want to be like us. Period... I think she was trying to give a compliment and was just misinformed about what waves were. I've been around a lot of white people and they are fascinated with black hair (touching asking about it ect.). So, thas my take...

She doesn't know what it is so she was prolly fascinated. As for her laughing, she either was flirting with you or your waves are horrible...You choose
