Hmm, depends on how and who your saying it to

Yes. If used against someone with nappy hair if you're a different race & your hair is textured differently

Nappy. My boyfriend says it all the time and let's me. Some people creating problems over nothing. Progress not regress, people.

Jet

If used correctly, no. Some people actually do have nappy hair. Most white people don't know what nappy means tho (no offence) so it's commonly misused to describe big, curly hair.

What does nappy means?

Pagan Poetry

Nappy means sleepy, so sleeping shouldn't be racist or offensive to anyone so no.

If a Caucasian person were to say someone's hair was "nappy" then yes. So yes, it is a racially-driven term, personally speaking any way.

So you're implying that "nappy" is virtually the same
as the n-word, as in, no whites can use it. Interesting.

Lyrical.

Depends how you're using it.

I don't think so.

And why do your threads always have to be an allusion to something else. Just be straightforward.

All I know is I'm a white person and you wouldn't catch me saying nappy to a black persons face

NLX

No.
Now if someone was to call them n-naps
Well, then we have a problem!

Rogue

When you call someone "A nappy headed ho", there's a problem. It may come with racial tones, it depends.
