Yep. I'm from southern europe.

And for what it's worth the lecture was indeed interesting. And I learned about the relationships of African American hair saloons, black culture and racism. I had some sense of it based on classic movies, but this roots the knowledge about the topic further down.

And it's true that I genuinely believed that that kind of "segregation" (is that right?) of black people going to black saloons and white people going to white saloons was a thing of the sixties. And that nowadays it wasn't like that. But I stand corrected on that if you said that it's still an issue. Here there has been always a lot of saloons with PoC owners or workers as it is a typical migrant job, so I've never seen that reality, or if it does happen I'm not conscious of it.
