2) dh and i were out to dinner and this guy at the next table actually leaned over and said, "hey, you look a lot like that lady from 'grey's anatomy.'"  i am getting tired of this.  i've met a lot of you guys, and i think you can all agree that i do not look like her.  not that this is the hill i want to die on, but come on.

  • #1 does not look like him. Sorry

    You don't look like her.

     

    Can I add mine?

     

    I never understand when my white sistas say they don't see color, because this is how my mind works:

     

    1. Color

    2. Heart

    3. Personality

    4. Everything else.

    I've never hear a person of color say this. EVER. I understand what they mean, but I don't think I've ever made this statement. FTR, I don't focus on color, but it is the first thing that I see.

  • i would say you're as pretty as Sandra Oh, but you don't look just like her.

    at least they're not saying you look like  Margaret Cho.

     

    and ::gafauw::@ fruit of the boom!

  • I see color. And I think everyone does too. I think people say that to TRY to make themself look better, but it doesn't. To say you don't see it, says it doesn't matter and it sure as shiiit matters. It is related to culture and experience and that is important to a person.

    I'm glad to have friends of all colors of the rainbow - they educate me.

    Here NOLA, you can touch my hair ;)

    Why do strangers feel the need to tell you that you look like someone famous?  If they know that you aren't the famous person, then why say anything?

  • Everyone sees color, unless they are blind (or colorblind I suppose). I don't choose to make color a focus, some people do, but not everyone.

  • I see color but it doesn't play into anything I think about the person. Yes, maybe that's looking at things with rose-colored glasses but their actions are what they are really getting judged on.
