Many curly-haired individuals can agree that taking care of their curls sometimes can be a full-timejob.
Thats why finding something that eases this burden can be lifesaving.
For example, a bonnet, which some people think is only for black people.
A quick Google search can debunk this idea, but not everyone looks it up before spreading it.
Like the woman from todays story.
She got mad seeing her boyfriends daughter wearing a bonnet, which caused a dramatic fight.
That was until her friend, who is black and wears a bonnet,giftedher one.
Thats what these caps did for the original poster.
Now, in the mornings her hair no longer looks crazy.
Yet, the bonnet itself isnt why this Reddit post came to be.
The womans dad came to visit and brought his new girlfriend.
The women met for the first time, as apparently, the dad likes to change girlfriends pretty often.
Yet, despite being a stranger, this one criticized the OPs bonnet-wearing.
She called her racist for wearing culturally appropriating headwear.
For context, she is also white, just like the author.
Well, the original poster doesnt think shes appropriating anything.
Many people online agree.
Here,thisReddit answer says that hair bonnets are more about hair key in than someones race or ethnicity.
As long as they dont refer to it with someracist nicknameor anything like that.
The dads girlfriend took the friends answer to her accusations as an invalidation of her beliefs.
After the argument, she stormed off to cool off and later came back demanding anapologyfrom the original poster.
Apparently, her feelings were hurt, but the OP wasnt planning to apologize for that.
Instead, she told her to get out.
Pretty soon, they cut their trip short.
Annoyed by this, the OP answered that shed apologize to his next girlfriend with a white savior complex.
After all, he changes them pretty often.
Plus, quite usually their help leads to more negativity than positivity.
Instead of bringing positive change, this woman only brought drama to her boyfriend and his daughtersrelationship.
So, she came on Reddit to ask whether she was actually the jerk here.
So, maybe this whole situation will soon blow over when the dad changes hisgirlfriendagain.
