the following hairstyles available in animal crossing: new horizons are for black people! they have cultural significance for black people. they are not for white people. if you are white and play the game do not wear these hairstyles! +

black people have been demonized for their hairstyles for centuries. cornrows, afro puffs, and afros all have historical and cultural significance for black people. they also require a certain texture to maintain them that white people do not have. +

do not say “it’s a children’s game” or “there are bigger issues to deal with” because you’re 1) dismissing the concerns of black people and 2) ignoring the fact that black children exist and racism exists online and in video games. +

so please, do not argue with black people about this. use one of the other available styles if you’re white. we asked for these (y’all clowned us for asking) and we deserve them. white people: do not wear these hairstyles!
