Yes, let’s accomodate every nuance of difference between 10% of the population and the rest.
Unreal!

Really, no one who needs or wants anything special for their hairblack or whiteis particularly well served by hotel products. Thats why it seems to me that most people (especially most people with more than an inch of hair) pack what they need or prefer while traveling....You mean "Did" until airlines imposed that stupid 3 oz. restriction.

Well a racist is someone who drives a car really fast for 500 miles going in one direction only.

Is having hair that makes using hotel shampoo difficult racist?

Hotels stock hair products used by 87% of the American population and 90% of the world’s population. Not hard to explain.

I use the hotel lotion and have leftover.

Even lotion to cover your whole body? Checking into hotel doesn’t mean they took you in to raise you. Entitlement never ends.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
If you don’t like hotel shampoo, bring your own. I do.
Simple, really.

Is microaggression a new thing? Seen it twice in two days after never hearing of it before.

The infuriating part is that if hotels gave black guests different toiletries than the white ones, that would be racist as well. The only solution for these professional victims is for hotels to carry black oriented products and ignore the 90% of their customers who are white. In other words the only suitable answer is black supremecy.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
Almost every single person in the entire world and every single thing in the entire world is racist according to liberals.
And if they don’t get exactly what they want given to them exactly when they want it then people are extremely racist.
To: Crazieman
They’ve been pushin’ it hard for about a year now.

If we are just the same, in a colorblind society...
...why the need for different hair care products.
I guess we are 100% exactly the same...except for hair.
