Q: Why do Black people care about hair representation so much?
Answer 1: Go to your favorite non-Google search engine. Do an image search. Search for "professional hair." Now search for "unprofessional hair." Let me know when you see it.
Answer 2: Go to trends.google.com. Do a search for "unprofessional hair" over the past 12 months in the United States. Notice that most of the results are in states where it was legal for employers to discriminate against employees with "unprofessional hair."
Congress passed the CROWN act that would prohibit employers from discriminating against natural Black hair in jobs.🙂 But of course, GOP Senators are blocking its passage.😑
In 2022 USA, hair as it grows naturally out of a white head can be considered "professional," but out of a Black head is "unprofessional."
The search queries include Black folk trying to figure out "You mean I can't get a job or get into college with unprofessional hair? But I just got a haircut? WTH is professional hair?"

It's no wonder Hitler used the US as one of his models for the 3rd reich. Here we still are.
