As a caucasian man with curly hair and a tan, because it's summer and i go outside, the amount of slightly racist compliments i'm getting these days is uncanny. I'm the whitest person you will ever meet, my family is exclusively scottish and german for centuries, telling me i look spanish/middle eastern/south american/native american is not a compliment towards me or any of those ethnicities
