I watched this video that shows afro picks from 3600 BCE in Egypt and the host said that he thought AA people invented it so I looked into the afro on Wikipedia and learned that they only discovered the afro in 1960. Before that they used chemicals to straighten their hair or just kept it short.
In the Wikipedia article there are even some that argued the afro was not African.
In the international afro section they make brief mention of Somali and Beja alongside Jews. The article is set up to look like the hairstyle was created in the U.S. in 1960 and basically says that in its summary even though it actually goes back millenia as demonstrated in the video.
This is a textbook case of cultural appropriation and we must fight it.
