One phrase that describes people with mental disabilities well is that they understand a lot more than they can articulate. I've only ever seen elderly nuns out and about. Last week I started researching different ones to see which is right for me. All hair of all life on the planet. The difference is that African Americans use various oils on their to maintain a certain socially acceptable level of sheen, shine, appearance and general health of the hair.
Oil seals the hair preventing the absorption of other fragrances, smells, etc.
Europeans avoid all oil in hair, and so it becomes a fragrance magnet for any fragrances that happen to be near. The whole time I sat through it, while I appreciated the performances, I was uncomfortable. I felt it was blatantly racist. I feel like I am an island. I think so.
