Spanish girls called me Chocolate!!! wtf?

[Anonymous]

im biracial (kenyan / russian) and im in Spain now.
while in the swimming pool some girls was staring at me, then when i passed by they said this to me, i was not looking their way but i heard them. i was the only black person there (for real!!)
so... what is all about?

[wendigoRed]

I don't know what you consider yourself, but people of European decent usually go by the one drop rule and consider you black. Don't be mad the doors are open for you my friend. Spain is not use to diverse groups of people and they probably aren't as racially sensitive because they don't deal with it everyday so they will say something that seems rude or racist some times. The most important thing though is that they see you as chocolate. Chocolate taste good its not like they called you charcoal. Since your one of the only people of that race or mix there you have a shot at getting a lot of women who want to try some "chocolate". Stay thirsty my friend.

[Asker]

i don't get the last part, what it has to do with being thirsty? who?

[wendigoRed]

Wait I thought you were a guy. These thread lay outs are confusing. Oh, than they are just not use to you and say insensitive things because they are not use to dealing with others other that white people. Stay thirsty is the saying in the most interesting man alive commercial.

[Asker]

Ok lol it actualy makes sense now if i was a guy, but being a girl i guess not so nad either.

[wendigoRed]

They still want you. Lol

[OldDinosaur]

Relax, Spain has been a racist nation and will be a racist nation for a long time. They have tried so hard for the last 500 years to present themselves as 100% white to gain acceptance from Europe and to cast off 700 years of Muslim rule that is perceived as somehow being black so anything black is bad. It's just kinda ingrained in their culture.

[Asker]

Well nordic nations are racist too and they were not occupied by muslims like Spain.
i get what u mean tho.

[Asker]

I get what you mean, but nordics are racist too. but they were not occupied my muslims like Spain

[Slavanna]

Oh, that's just what happens in places with little racial diversity, people are simply not used to colored people. Imagine seeing someone with green hair walking down the street. It's not that you hate them for having green hair, but that's not a sight people are used to and depending on whether speaking or thinking comes quicker to you, you may or may not say it out loud.

[Slavanna]

Also, Kenyan/Russian sounds like an interesting mix :D Do you consider yourself to be more Russian or Kenyan?

[Asker]

Mentality russian, but i kinda look ethiopian:not kenyan not russian. haha :D

[Anonymous]

people from spain are racist.. i can tell you this because my mom is catalan.. there's a lot of racial tension over there right now.. just say fuck you and walk away lol

[Asker]

im in the south -Cadiz. and dont generalize whole nation, please.
i know well the subject believe me and it was not like this.
i just dont get it.

[findingdreamland]

I would take it as compliment. Being chocolate is a good thing :) Imagine they called you acid rain? LOL

[Asker]

lmao how it looks like tho, the rain? XD

[kangy]

Acid rain? Lol

[findingdreamland]

Hahaha @kangy. Asker, it is like you don't have any color :D LMAO

[Asker]

Rofl: "oh you, invisible beauty!"... XD

[Anonymous]

You're the same color as chocolate lol That's why ^^

[Asker]

well you look vanilla and im not coming up to you saying it to your face, right?

[Asker]

i mean not you, just generally speaking ok.

[Keyspirits]

Llololol

[Opinion Owner]

Hun, I'm probably dark than you ._. Do you want them to call you black? I mean either way without knowing the context I can't tell you if they were being rude or not. Vanilla is also common to call someone who is white, white just feels rude, so does black. Different cultures clash on this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qNcluD9-EU

[Asker]

lol no i mean that she kinda whispered it to me. it was just plain weird. not mock, not racist just... WEIRD.
and i dont understand why she did it

[Opinion Owner]

Creepy >.> I'd chalk that up to a lack of social skills lol That is just weird!

[Anonymous]

I don't see how that is offensive. Are you not brown? It also depends on the context of how they said it

[Opinion Owner]

I'm African American but I have beige skin and people call me vanilla and white people say that I have an ambiguous skin color that they can't tell if I'm black

[Asker]

i dont say im offended, im not!)) im confused it is weird for me to be called like this by girls, i heard this from guys before (pick up) but not girls

[Opinion Owner]

It's not an insult
Maybe you are not use to compliments I don't know all I know is if those girls are racist you will know

[Tiffanymonroe]

Just jealous of your curvy body ;) let them racists talk.. we sisters know our qualities so ;) let them.

[been_waiting]

I don't think they meant it in an offensive way. Maybe they don't see many black people?

[Asker]

i dont know. but i know guys do it sometimes, in Europe, like some pick up lines and i dont care.
but it's the first time i hear girls doing it. besides she said it kinda whispering :/

[been_waiting]

If she's comparing your skin to food it's probably more admiration than racism.

[sammy_31]

I was going to ask if you're black and yup that's why. I hope it didn't offend you though.

[luna33]

I think they said it as a compliment not as something bad.

[dev765]

They were mad that you have a natural Brazilian Tan.

[Anonymous]

I don't think it was to be mean honestly. When I call someone chocolate it's just because of ur skin color my whole family does it, we say choco roll.

[Anonymous]

They were intrigued by you and chocolate is beautiful.

[Asker]

hm. i like this answer lol lets hope it was true... XD

[Opinion Owner]

Probably. Most women envy the amazing skin of a pretty black girl. Kenyan and Nigerian women might be the most amazing looking women ever. Brazilian women also have a special glow in them.

[Asker]

I have crazy russian in me too muahaha XD lmao

[Opinion Owner]

Christ you are probably gorgeous then.

[InsearchofMe]

I bet you are hot, dark and sweet, heh

[Anonymous]

It's either they were being racist. . or they were sayin it cuz they liked u :)

[222fallguy2]

I bet they liked her and made fun of her a bit because she had no clue what they were saying :P

[Keyspirits]

I'll tell u why lol @chocolateismylover

[Asker]

XD no really, why would a girl say it to another girl? i know dudes sometimes say it when trying pick up, but girls...

[Keyspirits]

Maybe black people are rare overthere and they rarely see any. What if... there was a white person that goes to an area where there are rarely whites, im sure black people will start gossipping about them as well. Its juz our instinct and curiosity dat leads us to say stupid things. It could sumtimes be view as racism as well.

[chocolateismylover]

Huh?

[Keyspirits]

@chocolateismylover cuz we LUV chocolate right? :D

[Asker]

thats not racist lol

[Keyspirits]

Yas its best not to take it dat way. U have the color of chocolate dats why they call u dat. Otherwise it is to mock u as well..

[Asker]

ok weird. some say it is racism, but i dont think so. stupid teens i guess...

[Keyspirits]

If ur the only black person and there are barely any blacks where u at, it might seem as racism cuz ur the only black person and they're all lightskin so i guess they have the idea that they are superior. Like i suggest, maybe its to mock u but depending on the tone of their voice so i can't really tell..

[Asker]

hm. ekhm. the voice was some whispering... kinda loud one.

[Keyspirits]

If u can see on their expression, i think u can tell if they're mocking u or not. Thats juz based on my observations not sure sbt urs.

[life101x]

they think you're made of chocolate

[ArabianPwincess197]

They were being racist to you

[Asker]

why?

[ArabianPwincess197]

Because of ur skin colour

[Asker]

wrong. have a nice day.

[ArabianPwincess197]

Ookay lol

[yaopyat]

now tell about fetishism, i bet it's the case...

[ArabianPwincess197]

@yaopyat - what?

[Anonymous]

Fuck you Spain !!!

[Asker]

chill... chill

[Opinion Owner]

Sorry I hate racism. It gets me worked up as you can see

[Asker]

yeah me too, man, met too. but i think it was not the case.

[Opinion Owner]

That's good and sorry for the out burst. At the time I was furious thinking it was a racist remark

[COCOCHANEL]
