theTruthshaper Posted September 6, 2020 Posted September 6, 2020 I know! It's so annoying! Let me play in the sun, mom! You'll still stick out like a sore thumb in here, especially if you are very pale. Assorted scrubs.
Condensation she/her Posted September 6, 2020 Posted September 6, 2020 Why would I stick out like a sore thumb? My clothes? Because my neighbor has been to India and I could borrow some of the clothes he brought back for his daughters/sons. Would it be my skin color? That's understandable. The fact that I don't speak the language? I'd pick up some words and phrases before I came.

I don't think language will be much of a problem, though, depending upon where you go. We literally wear exactly the same clothes as you all. I assure you that you will stick out even more if you wear traditional Indian dresses.

revelryintheart she/her Posted September 6, 2020 Posted September 6, 2020 I'm very pale and have blonde hair and blue eyes, so I would stand out quite a bit. When my mom was in Asian countries, they would randomly come up and touch her hair.
revelryintheart she/her Posted September 6, 2020 Posted September 6, 2020 Yep. That's also happened to people I know who've gone to South America. My brother isn't blonde, but he's super tall and when he was in Bolivia people were like wow such tall 1
revelryintheart she/her Posted September 6, 2020 Posted September 6, 2020 Also while in Bolivia my brother would show people pictures of my cat (he's a big chonk) and people wouldn't even think it was a cat because he's so big. (Cats in Bolivia are super small and scrawny) I wanna be tall too
Condensation she/her Posted September 6, 2020 Posted September 6, 2020 *Wins.* I would loooove to be tall.

revelryintheart she/her Posted September 6, 2020 Posted September 6, 2020 yes but i want to be taller
Nathrangking he/him Posted September 6, 2020 Posted September 6, 2020 I am tall. It's not an amazing thing. I'm always called upon to get things down off of high shelves. It's a mixed bag.
theTruthshaper Posted September 6, 2020 Posted September 6, 2020 Being taller gives you many advantages in your life. Taller people also have higher salaries and stuff
revelryintheart she/her Posted September 6, 2020 Posted September 6, 2020 But then you are inherently superior to everyone else
Nathrangking he/him Posted September 6, 2020 Posted September 6, 2020 I wish it were so. I have not experienced many advantages to my height.
Darkfinder she/her Posted September 6, 2020 Posted September 6, 2020 I'm relatively tall for where I live and for my age
theTruthshaper Posted September 6, 2020 Posted September 6, 2020 Oh, they are very salient. No one is going to think that, "Oh, that person is taller, let's give him more money."
Condensation she/her Posted September 6, 2020 Posted September 6, 2020 I'll think that if you're bullying me. JK but it could be a thing.
Nathrangking he/him Posted September 6, 2020 Posted September 6, 2020 I wish that it would be a thing.
Condensation she/her Posted September 6, 2020 Posted September 6, 2020 I don't. I wish people gave you more money if you were short.
