Have you ever gotten that?

I recently rellocated to the south, and in my new school Africans are few as compared to where I came from.

Ive gotten

"Youre attractive for an African" AKA "You dont look African" AKA "Youre the best looking African EVER"
"You Speak well for a Black guy" AKA "You talk white"
"You dress well for a black guy" AKA "You Dont sag?"

I know alot of black girls who have gotten the "Youre really pretty for a black girl" or in other words "Most black girls are ugly, youre one of the few attractive ones"

One of my friends almost punched this white boy for telling her that at Disney, whole time him and his friends seriously think he gave her a compliment.

Yup, you look good/cute for a black guy. Didn't even think twice about it. Thought they were giving me a compliment.

I got "You're pretty nice for a talking pile of garbage." before.

OMG same, when I though about it I would be like thanks? ...wait

you look good for a beyhive member

I don't really get people with that mindset. Like do you live under a rock where you don't see any races?

"You are pretty generous for a Jew" and i'm not even Jewish i just have curly hair

"Wow, you're a lot smarter than I thought" was a really common one when my hair was blonde. The stupidity of some people

"You speak so well for a Black guy."

ALL THE DAMN TIME.

One of my pet peeves.

I HATE THAT!!!!

i bet you thought that was the funniest thing

"Wow.. you don't look almost 30 at all." I mean I guess I should take it as a compliment, but should I expect to be lookin' like Quasimodo at 29?!

You're too white to be black"

or "you're really smart for a 'somethin' year old"...like I'm supposed to be dumb

I've said the "You speak well" "you dress well" "You are skinny" etc back when I was younger
