The notion that black people cannot get lice is a myth. Lice are tiny, wingless insects that feed on human blood. They are spread through head-to-head contact or by sharing combs, brushes, or hats. Anyone can get lice, regardless of their race or ethnicity.
The myth that black people cannot get lice may have arisen from the fact that lice are more visible on light-colored hair. However, this does not mean that black people are immune to lice. In fact, studies have shown that black people are just as likely to get lice as people of other races.
