I remember a common "compliment" I would often get in middle and high school, often told to me by other black males; it went to the effect of: "Oh! You're so pretty for a dark skinned girl."
Recuerdo un cumplido habitual que recibía durante la secundaria, a menudo de parte de hombres negros. Era algo así: "Eres muy bonita... para una chica de piel oscura".
