I included the pic to save time and effort if you're lazy like me.

I like both, but I'm glad that they have the current one, and not for the reason you may be thinking.

I think that it's pretty obvious that Garnet's character is supposed to be black. And I am not saying that there aren't people of African descent with naturally straight hair, but the majority of them have curly hair (so curly that it forms afros!) I think making her hair like that makes her different and pays homage to her ethnicity, in a way (same way with her full lips and [although very exaggerated] her body shape). I think it's cool that she's not just another "token black" character who looksCaucasian but with a dark tan. So yes, I like it for other reasons, but that reason is a more prominent one.

I'm having some faith in this wiki that somebody won't try to call me racist or whatever for this.
