Meanwhile it was me and this one insanely pale Hispanic girl who were constantly being conpared to the Asian kids as to who was paler. Gloria and I always ended up paler. I swear, we glowed, and not in a good way.
I’m white and tan pretty quickly, I always did that to my black best friend growing up when I would get some sun. I thought her skin was beautiful and I was proud to be half the person she was. Love you, Leslie I miss you
This is honestly kind of annoying now that I’m in high school. It may be cute when kids do it, but not anymore. I remember last year a white girl in my class was talking to her equally white friend who had gotten *marginally* tanner over summer, telling her, “Oh my goddddd you look actually like an actual Indian person!”
Cue my ‘actual Indian person’ self staring blankly at her from across the room for the next minute.
