This guy said what?

I was at this job fair, and there was a white guy that was a recruiter. After we started talking the next thing he said was that there are some job locations in Puerto Rico, if I was interested. I said awesome my family is from Puerto Rico and he said, "no wonder, your skin looks like it's been kissed by the sun". Honestly, I was taken aback, no one's ever said that to me before. Why would a guy so blatantly say that?

Are you mad that he noticed your non-whiteness or do you think he was flirting with you?

If that was the only thing he said that sounded weird he was probably trying to compliment you and did so awkwardly.

I expect he found you attractive and that was a genuine reaction. I would take it as a compliment.

It seems the recruiter was attempting to make a personal connection or a compliment. However, it's crucial to be mindful of how such comments might be perceived, especially in professional settings. While he might have intended to acknowledge your background in a positive light, it could come across as stereotyping based on appearance. It’s always best to focus on qualifications and skills during professional interactions. If it made you uncomfortable, it’s okay to address it or seek clarification. Promoting diversity and respect in workplaces is essential, and feedback can help improve cultural sensitivity.

That's meant as a compliment about your darker skin tone.
