Why do people think that if you are an african american??????

Question

with light sandy red, why do people think you had to dye or bleached your hair??? I don't get it i'm a light skinned african american and my friends always ask me is that your natural hair color and i always say yeah. Then they say u dyed your hair. I never dyed my hair. Then, they ask why is your hair red??

Answer 1

People can be very stupid...They don't realize that african americans come in a variety of different hair and skin shades...Laugh and ignore it.

Answer 2

Because most African Americans have black hair. I've actually never seen an African American without black hair unless they dyed it.

Answer 3

If you had a caucasian ancestor (even if that ancestor dates back to the 1800s) it could still be in the mix, even thought its rare and it could help determine your hair color and/or as well as your physical makeup.

Answer 4

most have black hair i never saw a woman that had any other color except if it was dyed

Answer 5

because its uncommon ♥ ive seen african americans weth natural red and blond hair, its rare, but it happens

Answer 6

dna determines hair an skin color.

Answer 7

I don't get it either. I've known colored people with natural orange hair.

Answer 8

Because it's pretty rare, and a lot of people don't realize that "we" (and our skin and hair), come in MANY, shades of black, brown, mocha, tan, and even white! =)

Answer 9

i think its very rare that a black woman has red hair so they just assume that you colored it

Answer 10

well maybe people think that because it is very uncommon. but you sound like you have really pretty hair so i wouldn't worry about it! hope this helps =)
