Why is my hair curly?

I have curly hair. It's rare for an Asian girl to have such curly hair. Of course being different invites attention; more often than most unwanted attention. People are not kind to those who are different. I'm often made fun of. Some people love the Afro joke although my hair is nothing close to an Afro. But it's ok. They can make fun all they want but I know it's just a way of making themselves feel better. They wanna feel better cos they never had the guts to be different. It's easier to be like everybody else. It's ok. I don't judge them. I just wish they would leave me alone. But that's never gonna happen is it? That's how the world works. I could change my hair. I could be like everybody else. But I won't simply because. So I will take their jokes and laugh with them and secretly wish they choke on their drinks if that's what it takes to stay true to my roots.
