This article starts out:
Carol Crouch �14 has natural hair. She wears it in a big Afro. And people at Yale are constantly commenting on it. �Wow, it�s crazy,� they say. �It�s like a jungle in there.� They ask if they can pet it, poke it, stick their fingers in it. They ask questions. �Can you comb it?� �Do you wash it?�
You have to keep reading right? The author goes on to address the situations a young woman just starting college experienced. One problem I had with the article is that did seem to be filled with a lot of stereotypes (a lot of them true...but still). The article was very interesting but I believe that an individual can have a problem with acceptance in any setting and the content in the article isn't really unique. These situations happen with our families, friend, and social circles.
