The classic "You don’t look like an SC person" comment. Does anyone else deal with this backhanded remark?
I regularly get people telling me, "You don’t look like you're from the SC community."
They clearly think it’s a compliment, exposing their own stereotypes about what they expect an SC person or family to look like, dress like, or carry themselves.
Honestly, I just take it simply and treat it as a compliment at this point.
In reality, my family and I always present ourselves and look way better than the people making these remarks anyway.
How often do you guys run into this, and how do you usually respond to these "compliments"?
