I do this weird mental double-take when I read "white-people shampoo". Because it is such an alien concept that shampoo has anything to do with race. Because I grew up in a society where there was only white-people shampoo and nothing else. It had never occurred to me until the subject turned up in LJ discussions that black people needed different things for their hair. It's this huge blind spot I think all Scandinavian people probably have, which is scarily indicative of just how predominantly white and isolated out countries have been. I have still never seen hair-products geared towards black, kinky hair in real life. I have no clue where black Swedish people might get them. (But I pray it's not with the lice shampoo.)
