I might be overthinking this, but one of my white friends told me she thought I'd be good at the salsa despite never having danced before and it rubbed me the wrong way. Any opinions on that?

they probably didn’t mean it in a bad way but it’s still a microaggression so your feelings are valid

I mean they are white. Not an excuse, duhh, but I guess it would feel weird if it’s like saying “wow you suck, I thought you would be good.” At the end of the day, if you really didn’t like it, say something, but if it’s something you can forgive and forget, don’t hold on. I know we like to but gotta try

No thats valid. Plus out of all the dances..salsa??? salsa was hard asf for me to learn. Plus there are so many other latin american/spanish dances.
