Well I'm half black and half Spanish, but blacks see me as Spanish and Spanish see me as black, me, I don't care I'm content with who is an and need no one's acceptance to validate who I am so no I take no offense I mean I am half black just light skinned but hell are we not all human

[Fireguy17]

No, I would suggest they get their eyesight checked.

[Anonymous]

I mean I am black so... no? I get more upset when people instantly assume I'm white or any other race, particularly online, yet get upset when they find out I'm black in real life- THAT'S irksome to me.

Yes, I've really had people get upset when they see my picture or meet me and see I'm black. People, I swear.

It happened to me 2 times already. I get a tan very quickly in the sun and when I go on holidays to a tropical climate im getting pretty browned.

I definitely couldn't get mad at them, it was more a funny moment for me 😂

I was thinking if I should advise them to check their eye vision at a opticien 🤓

[BoopBoopBeep]

I've been assumed to be a lot of different backgrounds over the years. Doesn't bother me at all, especially when it's that group that's claiming me.

[Asker]

I do especially if you put your race down without asking you what you are.

[BoopBoopBeep]

Yeah I hear you... I usually just leave that blank. It's not relevant to... anything and HR can eat a fattie.

[Asker]

I guess they think they know what you are but sometimes they are wrong it makes me mad when someone else puts down my race.

[BoopBoopBeep]

I put "mixed" on my ISOPREP forms because that one cannot be blank anywhere, but I've never had anyone try to fill it out for me. That is shady as hell.

[Asker]

What are you supposed to do when someone fills in your race for you?

[BoopBoopBeep]

I'd tell them "uhm... no... that's not accurate" or something, but honestly I was shocked when I read that. I can't imagine anybody having the gall to do that.

[menina]

No, I have no reasons for that because that's what I am.

I would be upset if they assumed that I had to act or speak in a certain way because of my skin color.

[EmmaMary]

Unless the poor unfortunate person concerned was totally blind, then that would almost be a feat of complete impossibility.

[Asker]

You know that you don't have to be dark for people to think you could be black?

[EmmaMary]

Would you please be good enough to explain this in plain English... Thank you

[Asker]

Fuck you

[EmmaMary]

I was merely asking... Sincerest apologies for any offence caused.

[andreasderjuengere]

Why? Because I'm blonde and with grey/blue eyes?

I only got kind of mad when someone thought that I'm ''American'' :)

(which - full-heartedly- am not)

[Drewtate]

I am Black. I've a black friend who gets upset when he's confused as white, he's real light skin but African features. He's Mathew Perry white.

[Joshydavid25]

Nah, seeing as I am "Black"... I've been mistaken for a Caribbean though and a "White" guy mainly cause they weren't looking at my pics..

[MustafaAl]

Some people called me black
But i am 80/90 middle eastern probably
No im not i dont care about them, so why get mad

[rosemilk]

i'm pretty fucking pale so i'd just think they're stupid.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Nope, I’d be surprised but not at all mad.

[katiesmuff]

Mad no, chuckle yes! Anybody would mistaken me as black quickly needs to see an eye doctor.

[ProbablyClueless]

Not mad, but I would be extremely confused.

[exitseven]

No, maybe I could appointed to Biden's cabinet or maybe be a Supreme Court justice.

[sheikalana]

Not at all. I've been mistaken many times. I'm mixed raced.

[Anonymous]

No I’d think they were blind or mentaly ill as I’m caucasian with straight/wavy long blonde hair, blue eyes and skin pale as like milk.

[Anonymous]

It would never happen considering how white I am, if someone is dark skinned but not African decent they will probably understand and correct them

[Asker]

What if they are a very light skin brown person?

[Opinion Owner]

They might take offense depending on how they feel about being related to black people

[DextroShade]

No, I would just think that person is blind because I am incredibly white.

[petera1987]

Only if I didn't have my blackface painted on.

[AngryCarl2]

No, I would laugh like an idiot and recommend a good optician.

[Dinklex3]

Yes, yes.

Very upset.

[jogeb907433]

I'm brown so no.

[Asker]

Well are you black?

[jogeb907433]

I am brown, but my paternal grandfather is black.

[RedInnocent68]

Unlikely to happen, but no.

[DaBiggestBird]

No, I would just say “half”

[Benedikt_lol]

Yeah, because im Caucasian 🥷🏿

[Asker]

What if your not white but you get confused as being black when you're not?

[balyai]

Nope, it would be funny

[Asker]

Why would it be funny?

[balyai]

If someone assumed I was something I'm not it's funny for me

[Asker]

I be wondering how they thought it.

[Nifrayu]

No, but like... how?

[Fuentes]

Lol no cause I am as well

[pickles77]

I would laugh so hard honestly

[Luckycharms12]

Never happened im see true white.

[Ms_Facesitter]

No, but confused.

[Asker]

I do too

[Anonymous]

I'm very white so I would just be confused

[jahaims]

Nope...

[riverrat3]

Nope

[Asker]

Why not?

[riverrat3]

Why should i

[Asker]

Because you're not that racist to get offended.

[riverrat3]

Exactly
