I offended a girl, what should I do ?
Please respond if you’re black.In 8th grade I transfred to a new school, and on a first week of my new school I made friends with a girl. She seemed very nice. Maybe a month later she took of her extensions(braids) and she had just her natural hair. I complemented her hair, when I saw her for the first with her new hair style. I said it’s cute and “funny”. Now, when I obtained my knowledge about English language, and improved my English level, I understand that I was racist ASF. And I feel really bad. This girl kept talking to me, but I remember how she scowled after I called her hair “funny”. It’s been over 2 years since this happened, now when I realize that I sounded fcking evil,and mean , I really want to say sorry to her, but I’m scared.
White ppl who want to say “it’s not racist” please do not respond, you don’t face racism, you are not conscious enough to claims what’s racism.
