Accidental racism from tonight's car trip.
My friend Liz, who I've just met recently, is absolutely lovely. Absolutely gorgeous to look at too, lovely creamy white skin, blue eyes, dark red brown hair.

We were talking about our travel plans and she was saying how she wants to go back to India.
"Oh," I said, "have you been before?"
"Yeah sure, my mum's Indian."
Somewhat confused I was asked if she was British Indian,
"Oh no no," said Liz, "She's Hindi."

And my brain just shut down as my mouth took over and blurted out,
"But you're just so WHITE!"


Luckily for me she saw the funny side.

Honestly though, I think she's adopted.

Not sure what's wrong with this.
My brother has been asked if he's Greek due to darker than normal skin, yet I'm paler than most people with ginger hair.
I think anyone offended by being mistaken for another "race" is the one with the problem.

You know, it's not REALLY racist to hate the Ginges.
It's more like common sense.
