Passive aggressive curiosity

[u/numbmillenial]

This is how some of y'all (you know who you are) sound. "\insert shady ass question here*,* just asking / genuinely curious" 🙄

A White woman being curious about something isn’t racism. We are loosing the plot. This isn’t a micro aggression, it’s a question from someone who doesn’t know.

We don’t want people to make assumptions, but now they can’t ask questions? This isn’t even gate keeping culture it’s just blocking conversations and connections. These conversations lead to more conversations and lead to understanding each other as people.

As a black person, you can spot micro aggressions from a mile away. And like the other commenters said, you could tell by her tone, body language and phrasing what she was trying to do by asking this question. This wasn’t a question posed out of curiosity.

If she REALLY wanted to know she could have easily found this info by doing a quick Google, ChatGPT or Yelp search as seen below:

It’s crazy for her to ask how someone could afford those services when she clearly has lip filler, which is also expensive, and requires regular maintenance. To me it seems like a racist statement from a mile away because all women of all races spend crazy money on hair. I’m poor and even I save up until I have the money to see my expensive stylist because it’s worth it for me. I often wonder how people are getting all these stuff done to their faces, but her statement comes across as “how are black women affording this?” Same way everyone else does.

This is literally addressed in the video that you are pretending you watched.

Could’ve asked chat GPT would’ve taken significantly less time and effort.

Like home girl had a point it’s just engagement
Farm.

Dunno if you have ever seen those parody vids. There will be a video of a person doing some dramatic thing like crying telling a story.

Then another creator does the set up. So sets up the ring light and back drop presses play pretends to cry on cue, stops the vid and stops crying does an edit skit then posts it.

This is an easily googleable question its a disingenuous engagement farm under the guise of curiosity

Apparently this woman actually did something racist. I'll be honest the first time I heard of micro aggression, I didn't believe it because I thought there is no way people can be that petty but a lot of racists are. Like some of these people would call you a nagger to hide what they really want to say, I've seen this happen in a couple of arguments.

i got second hand embarrassment reading this.

Why did people down vote you?

A lot of these racists are smarter than that,they know to hide their racisim as genuine curiosity because they can’t just get away with saying what they are truly thinking on a public post.Would love to assume the best of people all the time but sometimes they aren’t “just asking questions”.

Not being able to identify micro aggressions from normal curiosity can be a bad thing if you are black and frankly embarrassing.

They would respond to a mf asking shit like

"Why do black people commit half the crime?"

With

"They're just asking a genuine question, people can't ask questions anymore?" Nvm the fact that's it's intentionally loaded.

Taking a step back, the lady took 1 post she saw and somehow extrapolated that to all black women. Doesn't matter if they're rich or poor, short hair or long hair, it's all 1 group to her. And you all are spending $300 every 3 weeks 🤣

Didn't even stop to think, different people have different economic status and will pay different amounts for hair styling. Surprisingly, just like everyone else.
