I've dated plenty of black girls who always have complexes about their wild and curly hair.
See, the thing about all this Tumblr representation shit is it actually IS important to girls. We all know black dudes and other minority dudes don't give a shit about representation and mostly don't even notice what race the characters are. But girls are unbelievably self-conscious, they're in a constant state of insecurity, which is why they worry so much about representation and "unrealistic" depictions of women.
I don't mean this to generalize all women, but from what I've seen in my life, the majority of women are very sensitive to this kind of thing.
