I didn't know "nappy" was a racial slur.

I went to a middle school that was ~50% black... "nappy" was a generic word that everyone seemed to use to refer to messy hair. My white friends and I made fun of each other for having "nappy" hair all the time... I had no idea it usually only referred to black people's hair.

I'm sure people were LOL at us always talking about nappy this and nappy that.
