If the character was darker-skinned, I would've used textured hair, 100%. (Edit: I think I got confused by the lighting in this scend, I thought he had lighter brown hair and lighter skin. In the other interviews, it's clear it's naturally textured hair.) Given what I could tell from the character, I wasn't sure if it was non-textured or curly hair made intentionally messy for the sake of the skit, curly hair blowing in the wind with poor image quality, or the person's natural hair type. Especially given the fact that he was trying to get into somewhere that seemed closed, my guess from context clues was that he might not have had time to brush his hair.
I'm not sure which side is correct, or if it's appropriate to use "afro-textured hair" on a person who's natural hair type may or may not be textured. So for the sake of simplicity, I just removed that part of the transcription.
Didn't mean any harm with it, sorry for the confusion! Personally I've always found textured hair a both fascinating and gorgeous with what it can do, so had I known, I wouldn't have put it. (I was also writing it while on hold with the doctor's office, evidenced by how I wrote "engaged" instead of "Engadget" in another transcription haha. So it was also rushed.)
Hey. I absolutely don't believe there was anything intended by this, and was likely an innocent mistake. I just spotted it and thought it was worth raising.
I reiterate again that what you're doing in terms of accessibility is epic, so keep up the great work!
Thank you for being open to feedback.
I really appreciate you raising the concern! I didn't realize he had naturally textured hair the first time, since my hair isn't textured (but likes to stand up on its own sometimes anyway haha) it's not something that crossed my mind. I'm glad someone said something so I could correct it.
That said, now that I know, I'll keep it in mind in future transcribing work, too!
Thank you for raising it. Little by little we can remove conscious & unconscious biases against Black natural hair textures.
100% agree. I appreciate it being addressed. Was never my intention to put down black and textured hair, and I'm glad someone called it out so I could correct it.
