I confess that I've heard the term "nappy" but never quite knew what it meant.

The only time I ever heard it used as a point of contention, was when Don Imus got in trouble for calling the Rutgers Women's Basketball Team "Nappy-Headed Hoes" as a joke. Which was kinda funny because I was doing a lot of move jobs for Rutgers at the time that whole thing happened. FYI, it wasn't much of a topic Around Here as it became on the national stage, where everyone was calling for his head and demanding he be fired, which I think he was.

But I DO remember that most of the outcry was indeed about him using the term "nappy-headed", specifically, so I guess maybe it is an implicitly "racist" term? Like Andrew, I'd never heard it used that way myself, but I wondered if I missed a memo. Because nobody seemed to care that he'd also called them all "Hoes."

Of course, the explanation for THAT could simply be, "Rutgers". It's pretty well established that of you're a girl and you go to Rutgers, then Yes, you most definitely ARE a Ho. Kinda goes without saying. Thus, no outcry.

Anyway, yeah, no, I don't know. There don't seem to be "rules" for these things. It's like all it takes is one person SAYING something is offensive, and therefore it automatically becomes so.

How "brave and stunning" - a black Lesbian?
Next Batwoman should have a dick for a MAXIMUM DIVERSITY!!

Also, she looks like a chubby kid in a cowl to small for her face.

Plus Andrew's not 100% white so he should be allowed to say whatever.

Just seems like a word we'd probably get in trouble for using. Although when people describe hair as "kinky", I have problems with THAT, too.

"You think that's kinky? Eh. Looks pretty vanilla to me."

I want to say "stupid!" or moreso "just cancel it!" (in this particular case) but at large I'd way rather this happen than... nothing happen. Filming wise. The cancelation of the arts needs to stop.

The world waits with bated breath for more episodes of this wreck, I'm sure.

Hopefully they do Zsaz more like Batman Begins and not like Birds of Prey where they made him Sionis's Boyfriend

That's what I was talking about before... it was hard for me to imagine them giving her the red wig for fear of being accused of white-washing her or something. That she should, instead, proudly wear her natural hair, etc.. Maybe they'll start her out with the red wig then at some "important" moment have her throw it off, proudly.

It looks like DC are using the series finale of the Batgirl title to set up their version of Ryan Wilder

Yeah, she's a contender for "Best Live-Action Shredder Costume," no doubt!

"I am extremely proud to be the first Black actress to play the iconic role of Batwoman on television, and as a bisexual woman, I am honored to join this groundbreaking show which has been such a trailblazer for the LGBTQ+ community," Leslie said in a statement.

How exactly did the Batwoman trailblaze in any way, shape or form for the LGBTQ+ community? It's just a show. A bad one, with poor ratings that didn't even get to finish its first season before their main actress bailed.

Ah, so they're meeting in the middle. Mostly her proud, natural hair... but with some red extensions in the back.

Yes, that's how it is in the comics. Kate Kane has really short hair.
