This may not be PC but logically, the looser the curl, the easier it is to retain length.....so it kinda makes sense that people would come to that conclusion
People are used to seeing type 3's have long hair.....theres nothing unusual about that. There is certainly a pervasive myth that length can only be achieved with loose curls, which we all know is false, but if you so happen to fall within the stereotype then you can't really help that.
If I had type 3 hair and I said "oh no thats not why I have long hair anyone can have hair this long" it kinda makes sense that people wouldn't believe you....they'd probably be thinking in their heads "thats easy for you to say" or they'd be thinking "Oh that girl must think everyone can grow hair as effortlessly as her" so you don't really come off relatable to them.
Just my two cents.

Why not just be grateful if you do or might have some helpful natural advantage?

Op, at the end of the day i think, who really cares anyway? I know I have to take care of my ends to retain length, keep my shedding in check and stay away from heat. At the end of the day all that matter is that I like what I see in the mirror. I could care less about what people think about how I got long hair...
Mixed race has nothing to do with it. My mother is Black and has an even looser curl than me... she is a 3 something, never relaxed and she rarely puts heat on her hair, so I think this is why she retains and is wl. My niece is biracial and her hair is like mine but very very dry and is breaking (she is 4). It just depends in the individual. I am hoping the diversity on this hairboard stops some of those stereotypes.
