Prevalence of lice in African American hair here in the states is 1/35th of white students. But the prevalence of lice is the same in African countries compared to the states. Basically, our lice are racist and prefer straight hair, but that's not a trait of all lice.
The lice aren't racist they're the resistance
Fuck them little colonizers, you should see their YouTube recs
(It's the structure of the lice's legs compared to the shape of the hair)
That second part is interesting. I remember from school that black kids wouldn't get caught up in the lice outbreaks but didn't know that was a relatively regional thing.
