The word that best describes the tone of the first two paragraphs of the passage is emotional. The paragraphs convey the personal struggles and feelings of anxiety related to hair discrimination, which evoke an emotional response.
Use the passage from the “A yearslong push to ban hair discrimination is gaining momentum” article to answer the question.
As a young Black professional, Michigan state Rep. Sarah Anthony said she vividly recalls mentors saying that wearing straightened hair would be better for her career than wearing her natural curls.
Her curly hair would be seen as a “distraction,” or would “make the employer uncomfortable,” Anthony recalls being told by other Black women. Anthony’s experiences with anxiety and fear over the professional impact of her hairstyle are not unique. Though stories of Black people experiencing hair discrimination are not new, in recent years national media attention has brought a new level of scrutiny to the issue.
