'like Joe Pasquale and Gandhi' sounds like a goodness gracious me punchline

I guess he was asking you because of your phenotype but I would have spent a long time trying to think of an imaginary short word for Navajo fry bread and not been actually quick irl

this whole encounter would have gone down differently in the southwest than in buffalo imo...all kinds of local demographics affect white people's assumptions about indeterminately-raced brown people. there weren't a lot of east indian americans in providence so when i lived there a significant number of white randoms would ask me if i was portuguese which to me was like ??? do i look white to you??? but i feel like portuguese whiteness was somehow not full whiteness in that region.

i kinda think asking for help with crosswords is lame to begin with. i mean if a loved one is at the breakfast table with you and it's bugging you that you can't figure one out, sure, but going up to a stranger? you might as well do your crossword at the computer and google everything.

asking strangers for help with your crossword is a key element of afternoons in the pub tbh. but not based on racial profiling, obv

portuguese people are kinda dark!
― iatee, Wednesday, 2 May 2012 02:37 (twelve years ago) link
everyone thought I was spanish when I lived in europe
― iatee, Wednesday, 2 May 2012 02:39 (twelve years ago) link
the difference between white men and white men, i guess
portuguese people are dark like italians can be dark like greeks can be dark...i had always assumed those people turned white in comparison with me, but providence is different racially than other places in the u.s. i've lived.

yes and i've also lived in providence, where there are a lot of portuguese americans. those people are still white though! i am interested in this "compromised" whiteness but i don't really get how it's different from a version of italian americanness, for example.
― horseshoe, Wednesday, 2 May 2012 02:42 (twelve years ago) link
I think it is quite different!
― iatee, Wednesday, 2 May 2012 02:43 (twelve years ago) link
i consider portuguese people white for sure
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 2 May 2012 02:44 (twelve years ago) link
well there is 'white' the identity but does anyone think that a randomly selected italian person would have the same chance at being mistaken for mexican as a randomly selected portuguese person

I mean cristiano ronaldo is straight up darker than most italian people I am not sure what the pc way to put that is but I think I am allowed it because I am more or less as dark as he is also as attractive
