[QUOTE]Originally posted by MissJennifer: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Sahel (Siptah): [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [qb] What do you mean ''how do they designate the term ''wavy and curly''? The same way you would when you know what the terms mean according to their definition, and apply them in the real world. I find it interesting that both you and Dana question their ability to designate wavy, but not their ability to designate peppercorn hair. Surely, someone incapable of diagnosing the former, cannot be trusted diagnosing the latter, yet attention is focused on wavy, why?[/QUOTE][/qb] Peppercorn as a designation is more precise as compared to "wavy and curly." [QUOTE][qb]By definition it is impossible for someone to have kinky, yet wavy long and flowing hair.[/QUOTE][/qb] Why, and who's definition are you going by; your own or the scientists? As stated by the scientists some samples had hair clearly defined as crispy curled [b](p118)[/b] and even frizzy [b](p125)[/b], all terms used to additionally describe the hair of black peoples yet simply because these samples show hair which gravitate away from samples showing peppercorn hair they are not illustrated as "typically negro." [QUOTE][qb]Don't let that stop you from posting examples though, I'd appreciate pics of African people with kinky hair whose hair form matches your description.[/qb][/QUOTE]With regard to your request: [QUOTE] [IMG]http://www.corbisimages.com/images/Corbis-BD001486.jpg?size=67&uid=74ed8406-1b6b-4559-92ba-afcdbb8325d9[/IMG] [IMG]http://img242.imageshack.us/img242/871/nigeriennedc2.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT-AHwFRfduAqh7oX7YJn-cO9Js4O_sI5iD_idnC1u8LgEY09OGlDeahJDJ[/IMG][/QUOTE]These girls are a good case in point. Their hair is kinky, long, and wavy textured. [QUOTE][qb]Yes, and that isn't the only questionable term they've been sprinkling around. However, how that effects the hair descriptons being made, I have yet to see.[/qb][/QUOTE]It doesn't, although the usage of the word "typical" together with the racial label "negro" when describing hair is unnecessary if you ask me. I don't see them interjecting non "negro" racial labels and together applying the word "typical" in report of their other samples.
