Is it considered offensive?
I usually see a latino or filipino person get them once in a while and doesn't seem to have (too much) of a problem, but I remember getting them done two years back & a lot of people, mostly black, gave me dirty looks, namely a lot in my generation (18-25) who felt they had to give me "that look". I even had one lady who was walking in front of me as I was walking into the mall just open the door for herself just to show disrespect.
At my job, most of the older (30+) didn't have a problem with it, but I had a lot of black kids who felt they had to give me "that look" (and some wannabe-black white girls who had the same issue). Is it considered offensive for a white person, or should I say non-black person (I'm latin/white) to get braids in their hair?
I wasn't trying to be black when I got it done by the way, it actually looked nice on me, especially after a few days of initially getting it done (when it dries and settles in).
