I merely complimented a girl on her new bangs (she is black, for a complete understanding of my comment gone wrong). I then gave her bangs a touch and with laughter asked if they were real…and all of a sudden I felt that something began to bother my speaking abilities, it was my foot.
I realized but a bit too late that she is black, and many black women tend to sport weaves. She looked at me with a startled yet furious look of a lioness who’s pups where being taken away, she lashed out at me saying “YES THEY ARE REAL!” 
Being that I like many Armenian women am blessed with an abundance of thick and long hair, I failed to realize a weak spot and I for the life in me cannot distinguish real from fake, nor do I care. It was just a silly joke. No matter how I tried to weave (no pun) out of the situation I was knee deep and there was no way out. 
Later she told me that many came up to her asking if her hair was real, I was merely referring to her new bangs, it was the rest of her hair that was fake, that is the reason it struck a wound. 
So than I thought to myself, black women are on the bottom of the ladder. They don’t have many high paying positions, compare to the white women, their hair is by nature curly, and they are constantly pressured to compete with white women’s image of straight hair. Men prefer lighter skin women, so dark skin women are just not high in value. Black men are continuously chased after very light skinned women, white women or Latina women. Black women are known to be loud and confrontational and men prefer the opposite. So to think of it, I am not surprised why so many black women are bitter and why they are so rude to their white sisters.
We Armenian women have it easy, yet we still complain about our looks and our situation although black women are an example of those who are continuously struggling to fit in and prove their value.
