[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sooooo, let me get this straight, if a white person compliments a black person, then the white person is racist.[/quote] If a white person compliments someone for something that includes the implication "for a black person" e.g. you are very professional/smart/well dressed/well spoken "for a black person" then yes, it's racist. That's not really a genuine compliment just a back handed one at best.[/quote] DP. I agree with what you've said here, but OP's description of the event doesn't match that. OP said herself that this one teacher's presentation stood out from the rest. The other parent felt the same way and complimented her on that - not for her presentation being "professional for a black woman" but for standing out with a very professional presentation. I suppose it's possible that she said it in a bizarrely condescending way, but as described it was just a compliment, not a backhanded racist compliment.[/quote]
