wanted to ask a question to black girls about cultural appropriation as an asian girlie i do drag and i want to buy a pink clown afro wig (i perform as a clown). ik afros are a traditional black hair style so i'm wondering if that'd be offensive?

maybe- and i only learned this recently myself- but the clowns wearing afro thing was originally meant to mock black hair as it were ugly/comical so maybe with the clown persona nah stray away
