Life must be horrible when everything makes you feel victimized.
Including the hairstyle of a little girl.
On Saturday, 12-year-old Mallory Merk posted pictures of her new hairstyle on Twitter, like so many kids do everyday.

Merk, who is white, decided she liked the look of box braids, so that’s how she had her hair done.
Her only “mistake” was not checking with people who seem to be angry about everything before she decided on her choice of hairstyle.
@mallorymerk it's cultural appropriation, and you look like one of those drawstring potato sacks

Merk tweeted an apology to anyone she offended.

Fortunately, many people, including African-Americans, came to the defense of the young lady.
Wait people are mad that a white girl got braid… Wow… Everything is not always racist

Just saw this whole #mallorymerk thing and I am amazed how ignorant people. She's a little girl. She clearly didn't mean a thing by it.

@mallorymerk You had no reason to apologise to that angry mob. You did nothing wrong. Wear braids this month & next if you choose. Okay?
