Yesssssss. I think I referenced the hair texture thing a couple of posts ago.

In the few instances where nonwhites are the power and population majority, something similar happens:

I may've shared this story before but I remember the hottest white guy at my middle school who was widely accepted as "the cool white guy" and "the fine white guy." That certainly went to his head (also literally, you'll see) and he started doing everything he could do to dress like, talk like, and even walk like "one of the Black boys." The funniest thing was that this was in the '80s and Black guys were shaving their names and stuff in their heads. Well, guess what, his hair texture wasn't conducive to that...not even if he tried to do a buzz cut or fade...but he damn sure tried. LOL. It was the funniest thing. He was so laughed at that he wore a hat for 2 weeks. God bless his soul as he was reminded that he is not "just like us."

Of course, not all white ethnicities have the same hair texture and not all Blacks and African Diasporics have the same hair texture. But, you damn sure need to understand whether or not you share the same texture of those you are trying to mimick.
