Ahh! I love how straight it is!  You know, dear, when you wear your hair like that, it makes you look more.professional, or even exotic!
What goes through your mind when you make such a comment?
Being sexually attracted to people of color because they look more exotic.
It's fine to think people of color are attractive, but that comment implies that's all they are. You wouldn't want people of color (or anyone, really) treating you as inferior or unprofessional.
