Why are you touching me? Por que me tocas el pelo sin pedir permiso?

I'm just venting about my experiences here in Spain, never in the USA do I have so many people come up that I don't know touch my hair. Honestly it's only happened once, and he actually talked to me before touching my hair. Here, they just see you and touch. WTF?
Aqui estoy expresando mi experiencia aqui en Espana. Esto nunca me pasa en los EEUU, tanta gente tocandome el pelo. De verdad, solo me paso una vez, un tipo me toco, pero por lo menos me hablo primero, aqui, viene a tocarme primero despues hablan. A mi me parece que son muy maleducados si no sabes que hay que pedir permiso antes de tocar alguien.


So, I made a few grammatical mistakes, "Por que me tocas" not Por que me toques, pido que no te fijas en mis errores gramaticales sino la pregunta. Por que me tocas sin pedir permiso?

I love how you flipped back&forth between Spanish&English... Made it interesting for me since I'm semi fluent in Spanish.As a fellow natural sistah from the U.S.A.,I want to say that YES this does happen the U.S.Many either have odd stares,blatant disrespect for personal space or are down right appalled by natural hair on black women(or women of African descent).What's more annoying is when other Afro descendants act the same way.But as a whole it happens here too, including the no hand washing

@SoulSistahT89 Yea I've got stares in the US too, and none of my friends have ever told me anything about it in the states and when they did it wasn't at such a high frequency. Same with the bathroom! I've NEVER seen anyone wash their hands here! LOL At home it's usually every once in awhile! But yea, some of the people who touched my hair were afro descent, including the one guy in the states who did on the street, that was more of hair/sexual molestation "i kno u like it when i pull it" thing

Did any of them gave you a reason why they want to touch it

[CamilaRox11]

@morenita13mami No not really, they followed it up with compliments.

I had the same issue in Tokyo. being 5'9'" and a natural was a recipe for people feeling like touching my hair was fair game. No bueno.

Posiblemente aquí la gente es un poco más reservada con respecto de eso, jamás nadie ha intentado tocar mi cabello antes de preguntar. De igual forma no le presto mucha atención cuando alguien quiere hacerlo, no le veo mucho problema siempre y cuando yo le de permiso antes.
