Okay, I have two questions...

1. What hairstyles are actually being worn by most African-Americans in real life?

2. Why is everyone using the racist definition of the word "ethnic" for this thread?

this is about EA adding more hairstyles for black players nothing else my dear.. lets stick to the subject at hand..

Both questions are related to the opening post and to adding items to the game.

The first relates to people demanding African-American hairstyles, so my question relates to what hairstyles African-Americans are actually wearing. If they are actually going to add such hairstyles to the game, it would be more marketable for EA to stick with the current trends of styling, as then people can make sims closest to what they see in real life.

And, as for the second question... I asked it because it kinda is pertinent to the discussion, given your use of the word. But, after some careful consideration, I have deleted my long explanation of why it is relevant. I agree, let's drop this.

The OP is black. If she want to use the word "ethnic", you have no place policing her terminology.

Funny. My local chapter of the NAACP disagrees with you on that. But, I don't want this argument, and neither does the OP or you. Shall we leave it here? Because if we have to do the wall hosing contest for who is the bigger minority, this thread is doomed (by the way... notice I never specify what race I am?).

(Note: the ending of the above is intended to be humorous.)

Most black folks have type 3 or type 4 hair, ranging between curly to afro-textured. Some black women use chemical relaxers in their hair to make it straight and more manageable as tightly coiled hair can make styling difficult.

Here are some hairstyles worn by folks with type 3 and 4 hair.

I love those hairstyles and hope to see them in-game!
