Do you ever think that she actually thought you looked like Obama, and her friend might have actually thought you looked like Lebron James? You sound likeyoure reaching to me. Ive had people tell me I look like a couple of different white people. Does that make them racist?

I mean I see what you are saying dont get me wrong. But I think its kinda silly to to think they were trying to be racist especially if they told him to hisface. Sounds like they were trying to be friendly but maybe did it in the wrong way or came off as sounding ignorant.

This happens to me too. In my head I'm like "Thats a little racist" but f*** it I laught too.

I dont equate being unexposed directly to being racist. They both probably genuinely thought he looked like Obama/Lebron. Ive been compared to so manydifferent people that dont even resemble eachother in the slightest. Sometimes people see small qualities in people that are similar to someone else.

To be fair atleast they didnt say you look like a famous unsuccessful black person. "Do they ever tell you look like MC Hammer?"
