Being called exotic. It’s not a compliment, it’s rooted in racism and fetishization of race

There sure do seem to be a never-ending supply of things that people can find a reason to be offended about.

Agreed. I also find it kinda weird that all foundations for black women are like chocolate, coco, caramel, but for white women it’s snow, goosefeather, swan. Like why is white women makeup associated with purity and black women makeup are something you eat looool

Maybe because white is associated with purity?

Which still wouldn’t be a race thing. But exotic is definitely a term used for a lot of things 😂 even I’ve been called exotic

I was more referring to the “everything is racist” default that so many people seem to exist in.
