I didn't know this was a stereotype.
It isn't.
I remember watching Chris Rock's documentary on hair in African American culture and thinking, "Holy sh*t I had no idea", as far as time, expense, and cultural and social standing. It's really quite a sensitive thing, and I would have probably stuck to "Aren't you pretty"? Then again, I'm familiar by virtue of existence how many racially and culturally insensitive comments people can make under the guise of paying a compliment.
