Our race is part of who we are, and with it come certain associations–both positive and negtative. My son hates worrying about his hair, and claims he gets dandruff if his hair grows any longer than an inch or so. He has often threatened to shave it all off. Once, after cutting it extremely short, he kept getting asked if he was sick or had cancer. His sister told him he resembled the Dalai Lama, but one woman asked my son if he was a skinhead. I was surprised, because he isn’t exactly white. So, that question made me think that if he were a very pale-skinned teenager (and worse if he had any facial piercings), it would be a terrible idea to shave off all his hair! And if he did so after the news of some white-supremacist incident, it would be an even worse decision.
