I think thats just somebody trying to connect with you by implying some familiarity with your culture? Like get over yourself

passport bros LOL

No this totally valid, when i was in north dakota this woman working at a store came up to me and was like omg i love ur shirt my boyfriend is african too... im Jamaican and she mistook my ralph lauren shirt for a dashiki

Yet most of them participate in said fetish whenever it suits them

Its just small talk its nbd

A good response is "oh, what part of the country are they from" and then go on from there

Was spending the holidays with white folks and their grandma asked me if I’m negroid. I’m good for real, never again 🤦🏽‍♂️

I Guess it’s a thing people do to try to relate experiences

Idk man it's just f***ing small talk goddamn

Bruh LMFAOOOOOO i woulda ubered outta there shortly after all that

People love being miserable

Depends on the context, if it's some greasy old white guy saying this then definitely it's some sexually charged racial stereotyping.

as a filipino i am not offended

On the real tho even if it is literally just stop talking to him. People microagression me all the time i work with like 98% white dudes i just say "word" and stop having the conversation. You aren't obligated to entertain everyone who talks to you.

First tweet annoyed me more like bro his wife not his 3rd roommate in college 10 years ago

hell nah

Just making conversation. And idk but some ethnic groups really be close-knit where a lot of them do know each other in the city

You’re Filipino? I have never in my life known of a single Filipino person.

Hope that’s better

what the f*** is filipino?

“You’re white? My friend is white too”

bro

depends on the intent and delivery because that s*** can definitely come off corny

last point is crucial. 9 times out of 10 when i ask if they know so and so they be saying yea
