i honestly don’t know because i’m a white girl myself and i was raised to NEVER put my hands on anyone without asking for permission first. i’m also hispanic tho, so😭 i always ask before anything because i know that i myself would not want to be randomly touched whatsoever without consent
As a white, neurodivergent woman, I don’t get it either. My best guess is that it’s cultural. The other comment that hypothesizes that it’s because we don’t deal with getting touched and therefore haven’t learned…I really don’t think so. I get touched ALL THE TIME by white girls and women, especially family. White men do it a lot too. It makes my skin feel like it’s burning and even when I try to establish boundaries about touch, my family laughs and says I just need to get used to it.
