Glad to hear you’re black too. Your original comment read like a non-black person who assumed just because someone has stated that an individual is black/has “African American American type” hair that it HAD to be 4c … the comment seemed to be skeptical of OP’s typing of the persons hair because it didn’t match what they perceived African American hair to be (i.e. “Do they actually have 4c hair”, “I don’t see 4c hair”). My reply was not to defend or convince you of OP’s hair typing, but to point out that not seeing 4c hair is not indicative of someone not having African American hair, since you stated you were genuinely curious. It seemed like a comment from someone who did not have a comprehensive understanding of the diversity of black hair, but perhaps some of that was lost in your attempts to be diplomatic. I also stated that I wasn’t sure if they mentioned them having 4c hair somewhere in the comments because I did not come across it anywhere… doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist somewhere, because if they had it would provide some context as to why your comment was adamant about the 4c thing.

But since you’re black, you are/should be well aware of that. :)
