A mom thought she was helping but ended up sparking outrage. A 37-year-old white woman noticed her son’s 13-year-old African American girlfriend losing confidence after ditching her wig and makeup. When the girl admitted she was only showing her natural hair because her boyfriend liked it, the mom told her she should wear a wig if it made her feel better.
Days later, her 14-year-old son exploded in anger. He accused his mom of overstepping, calling her a Karen and saying she had no right to tell a Black girl how to look. So who crossed the line here?
AITA for telling my son’s African American girlfriend that she can a wig even if my son doesn’t want her to?
