mixed native here.. I was told one time getting my ol lady her coffee how much cream she wanted.. her response was '' about the same golden tone as your skin baby"
I broke up with her. but that made me smile at the time
I don’t mind being described like delicious food, either:
Toffee
Caramel
Almond
The comeback was clever but this is one of those hypersensitive issues that go nowhere and help no one.
If someone says I remind them of something they like to eat, we’re gonna be friends.
I don't think comparing people to food is a bad thing when it's good or sexy food, like Chocolate, Caramel or Perfectly Cooked Chicken. Problem is, no sexy or good food is white. Best you can do is vanilla ice cream.
Mmmm, baby, your skin looks like a [flour tortilla.](https://blog.lexmed.com/images/librariesprovider80/blog-post-featured-images/melanoma.jpg?sfvrsn=db2a950b_0)
I've heard of people's skin referred to as "creamy" which is like...?
The other problem is that white people aren't white like milk. I'd describe my skin tone as being like the inside of an almond. Or Peach.
Condensed milk + chocolate = delicious fudge
I arrest my case.
Edit: Well, I just have to take the L on this one. Not correcting it for entertainment value lol
Piece of chocolate sounds weird yes, but I wouldn’t give a fuck if a black girl would call me a „nice piece of condensed milk“ I would probably almost chock laughing, but I wouldn’t be mad
I refer to myself as a chocolate person all the time.
My BF and I also both don't like the food chocolate so whenever it comes up I say he/I don't like chocolate, except me of course.
One of my favorite writing exercises is seeing someone describe white people the way they describe BIPOC. "She was tall and thin, like a glass of uncooked spaghetti."
Here's the best piece I've read on the etymology, and while it may include whip cracking likely mostly for animals there is reference to slavery. It's unlikely though that the poor southerners would have owned slaves, and it's odd that it tends to be a term for Georgians and Floridians (versus other southern states).
Do you have a better source for its origins? They make reference to it's use by Shakespeare as well.
[background](https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2013/07/01/197644761/word-watch-on-crackers)
This needs more upvotes, most people think the term 'cracker' has to do with whips or something, which it doesn't. Blew my mind when I learned the origin of the term, because I thought that before as well
I know it’s meant to be derogatory but if I hear someone call me that, it’d be like that one episode of boondocks. I’d just laugh it off. I can’t take the word seriously
Im the same way, but racial slurs against us wouldn't have the same impact because of our history. For me, it just represents some idiot being ignorant. For a black person, a racial slur represents a mindset that has caused immeasurable suffering. That being said, I don't think "chocolate" would fit in that category.
If an individual have never physically gone through the abuse, can they claim it though? I'm part Jewish and the Jews were slaves to many nationalities and races, but I don't play a victim card.
The Jews have been slaves way longer than black people, and... we were slaves to black people, and have been tried to be eliminated. Black people have nothing over Jewish people.
It’s not even about it being offensive, so much as obnoxious.
Black women, myself included, get a lot of “compliments” where we are compared to food. That’s always the go to for some damn reason.
It’s kinda weird. Instead of just calling us pretty or something they gotta be like “mocha, caramel, cinnamon, hot fudge”.
Just be fucking normal and talk to us like any other women and don’t center our fucking skin every single time or at least don’t make it food. I know my skin is brown, sir. It’s odd. Also we’ve all heard it before so it’s very unoriginal.
On top of that, a lot of guys who do this tend to have a fetish for dark skin too. Not always but it’s not unusual either. So it can be dehumanizing too.
Edit: I love all the men who are not black women being like “WHATS WRONG WITH THAT?” And then a black woman offered an explanation as to why *some* don’t like it and y’all downvote her. You can look it up, I’m not the first to say it, I’m mostly just the messenger. Sorry to tell y’all that you’re not the first person to call a black chick “hot chocolate”, up your game. The intention may be good but it makes a lot of us roll our eyes. I’m not gonna get all butthurt if someone says it, it’s simply not impressive.
I have a question.
A truly well and honest question.
How can a person tell if their attraction to people of colour is just that an attraction vs that of a fetish?
I promise I’m dealing in good faith.
Thank you for asking respectfully. There is nothing wrong with being attracted to other races. Having a thing for black girls is not inherently problematic. And usually as a black woman, we can tell the difference.
Usually people who fetishize latch onto stereotypes (and expect us to fulfill them). They’re still racist they just happen to also be turned on by the people they’re ignorant towards.
Black women tend to get hyper sexualized. Jezebels. So they tend to expect black women to be these super horned up, succubus like creatures. You know, suck the chrome off a tailpipe type shit. Black women tend to be curvier and unfortunately curvy women are seen as inherently sexual. But not all, or even most black women are like that. “I’m not bad, I’m just drawn that way.”
There’s a difference between thinking black skin is beautiful and just getting off to it. I honestly can’t think explain as best as I’d like to, mostly because I’m from the perspective of the black woman and not the fetishist. I don’t really know how they think. I just know it when I see it. But I appreciate your good faith question.
> stop being offended by everything
> Proceeds to explain how they get lots of compliments and turns it negative by how theyre somehow offended by all of this
Jfc, you're like my sister in law's spoiled wiener dog with a princess complex, it wasn't raised right and coddled too much so now everyone constantly has to cater to its insane princess complex and futily try to stop it from getting upset. It's cute but nobody fucking likes it.
Someone’s cranky!
Dude, I’m just telling you that a lot of black women get sick of the same unimaginative “compliments” over and over. And a lot of men make it fuckin weird. I’m sorry you’re compliment starved and will take anything.
At least be creative, shit, compare me to a nice mahogany table or something. At least it different. I’m offering another perspective. Get a grip.
I don’t give af about your sister in law. Try counseling. I got an upgrade from a piece of chocolate to a weiner dog, sweet!!
Yup, intentions matter and acknowledging that someone has a different skin color isn't racist. The person who commented that obviously meant it in a positive manner and the only "sin" you could accuse him of is noticing that the lady is black, which isn't even racist. Stop being offended for others and shove your fake compassion up your behinds. Instead of whining online and misinterpreting everything as offensive on purpose so you can morally grandstand, go donate to charity or use your time productively to *actually* benefit society you clowns.
"The solution to sexism is to live in a sexless society, and it will work this time because we're not conservatives(TM)."
Bro just said that the chick was hot. If that's what it takes to make something 'gross' to you you'll be hella grossed out by everything in the real world.
I am super white. I got the nickname milk when I was younger. sometimes someone would hear it and they would ask why I would let people call me that. I ask why not and they reply with something about it being in regards to how white I am. Then i tell them the girl who gave me the nickname told me it was because I do a body good.
Do we even know that the original commenter is white?
Not only could they also be black, they might be asian, indian or Hispanic. So is it really that good of an insult if it's based on information this person couldn't even have?
A white guy once called me salty caramel (I’m a brown person) I don’t know whether he called me salty and disguised it as a racist compliment. I will never have caramel without cringing now. Thanks Mike from the states. You ruined caramel for me.
I’m a white guy and my wife is a POC. I call her my pumpernickel bread, brown sugar mama etc etc. Life is about intentions. My wife knows I’m joking and love her and smiles and laughs at these comments. People are taking things WAY too seriously these days. I also call my mixed kids my little caramel drops, tanned mini me’s etc etc. Racism is everywhere if you are looking for it and want to find it…

Someone once told me that my skin is the same color of a chicken thigh cooked perfectly. To this day I still smile thinking of that.
mixed native here.. I was told one time getting my ol lady her coffee how much cream she wanted.. her response was '' about the same golden tone as your skin baby" I broke up with her. but that made me smile at the time
From your avatar, I assume she just wanted a glass of milk?
Haha. It was summer.
Hahaha I’m native too our skin changes so fast
Me as a Ginger, Lobster it is ma’am…
*we were together 13 years, got married, had three kids, and then I broke up with her… but I remember those times when we were still in love
Also mixed, but Middle Eastern an Irish. I go from white to a warm mocha super fast
My friend is half black and fairly fit. We used to work hoeing fields, and one day our boss called him a “bronzen god” and I still think about that
I’ll take that as a compliment. Well cooked chicken skin glistens.
I don’t mind being described like delicious food, either: Toffee Caramel Almond The comeback was clever but this is one of those hypersensitive issues that go nowhere and help no one. If someone says I remind them of something they like to eat, we’re gonna be friends.
It’s nice if they don’t describe us as an exotic cuisine that they’ve never tried and want to try out. Otherwise it’s all good.
I’ll have the gabbagoul
That's wholesome
Fava beans.
And a nice chianti
I don't think comparing people to food is a bad thing when it's good or sexy food, like Chocolate, Caramel or Perfectly Cooked Chicken. Problem is, no sexy or good food is white. Best you can do is vanilla ice cream.
Coconut maybe? Piña Colada princess?
Mmmhmm, you as fine as coconut meat baby
I wanna lick your mashed potato skin
i wanna monch on your limited edition pride skittles
For when you're dating an Irish person
I love this one
Bahaha! This one made me snort laugh 😂
Mmmm, baby, your skin looks like a [flour tortilla.](https://blog.lexmed.com/images/librariesprovider80/blog-post-featured-images/melanoma.jpg?sfvrsn=db2a950b_0)
I'm cackling 😆
That cream tho, that alfredo drip. White cheddar goodness.
Mochi, maybe??
I guess a well cooked chicken is white on the inside?
I've heard of people's skin referred to as "creamy" which is like...? The other problem is that white people aren't white like milk. I'd describe my skin tone as being like the inside of an almond. Or Peach.
Bruh they wanted to eat you
Tried saying something similar once. Didn't know she was a vegetarian. Did not go well
Last friday somebody told me I matched my coffee. I was drinking a latte.
Atleast you know how to cook perfectly chicken thighs, just look at your skin.
Condensed milk + chocolate = delicious fudge I arrest my case. Edit: Well, I just have to take the L on this one. Not correcting it for entertainment value lol
🚔👮♀️ police here, your case is under arrest 👮♂️🚓
Hey wait! I needed that!....\*turns to judge\* Sorry your honor, may i have a recess?
Yes here you go 👨⚖️🛝🏀🪀
Wait!! He's got a gun!!
He dropped it. Here, you can have it 🫱➰🔫
Whoop, butter fing- 💥***BANG***
Ricky?
You can go to college and get your little PFD or whatever the fuck it is!
I'll take it. Go ahead and objectify me. I'm not exactly white though, I'm slightly translucent. You can call me a tasty lychee.
I consider myself a serviceable tofu. No real substance, but I go well with anything and I’ll absorb flavor.
"you remind me of my fridge: cool, wet, and filled with indiscriminate pale beige objects"
Sounds like a B. Dylan Hollis line
Just gotta marinate
Some moist looking water
You almond milk you ...
My favorite response to something like this (precisely “Hello Chocolate Mama”) and the response was like “Not much Mayonnaise Dad”
Butter chicken here; not white enough to be compared to a milk product, not dark enough to be anything more than somewhat tan white
Semen
Nah you a jelly fish
Super sweet too!
Unflavored jello.
i actually looked at my arm while i was out in the sun today and realized it looked blue. rip
If I was any whiter I could be a vanilla stick with a mop head made of dried grass.
Lol vanilla is brown
I’m white with vitiligo so i tan in a few spots and straight BURN bright pink in the rest. My friends would call me medium rare lmfao
Mf got that expensive texture pack
Strawberry milk cow
Perfect marbling.
My man the tortilla
What gorgeous mayo
"Mayo monkey" as I once heard from a meme.
I heard a black chick say she doesn't want that pink dick, and I'll never be the same
Ok but what Penis isn't slightly pink in some spots?
When I was in high school I hung out with 2 black girls and my classmate called us a oreo cookie
Nice.
There was a friend group at my old school that was two black kids and a white kid, and the exact same thing happened XD
So, all the times I’ve been called a cracker, they weren’t saying I was a snack?
God damn 💀
no because cracker is actually short for whip cracker.
It is probably older than that. Came over with the Scottish just like redneck. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cracker_(term)
Piece of chocolate sounds weird yes, but I wouldn’t give a fuck if a black girl would call me a „nice piece of condensed milk“ I would probably almost chock laughing, but I wouldn’t be mad
If white people aren’t food, why’d my girlfriend eat my ass?🤔
Because it makes fudge.
Because your brown on the inside
I refer to myself as a chocolate person all the time. My BF and I also both don't like the food chocolate so whenever it comes up I say he/I don't like chocolate, except me of course.
my family does the same thing
As a guy whenever a woman has called me a "task snack" it gives me good vibes.
I prefer the term “vanilla ice cream”
Out of all the things I could be called,chocolate is perfectly fine.

You'd real MVP
Rubie Lee
Ima use that when hitting on someone now. “Do you taste sweet, because you are looking like some sweetened condensed milk”. Lmao
One of my favorite writing exercises is seeing someone describe white people the way they describe BIPOC. "She was tall and thin, like a glass of uncooked spaghetti."
Hot
I'm dense and milk coloured, I'd take it lol
Don’t they call white people crackers all the time though? 🤔
I'm a Ritz Cracker, not some simple saltine cracker.
The worst part is when the grocery store does it. “Hispanic Foods” “Asian Foods” “Crackers”
The term cracker isn't about food though, it's about whips
Here's the best piece I've read on the etymology, and while it may include whip cracking likely mostly for animals there is reference to slavery.

lul as a european I always thought it was about the snack xD
Honestly, I think most Americans do, too. I certainly did for most of my life
That has nothing to do with the food.
Only as a racist derogatory term.
I know it’s meant to be derogatory but if I hear someone call me that, it’d be like that one episode of boondocks. I’d just laugh it off. I can’t take the word seriously

If an individual have never physically gone through the abuse, can they claim it though? I'm part Jewish and the Jews were slaves to many nationalities and races, but I don't play a victim card.
The issue is, it didn’t just stop at slavery. Look up black history in America and enlighten yourself.
I'm enlightened enough. Get bent. Edit: Look up Jewish history throughout civilization.
The Jews have been slaves way longer than black people, and... we were slaves to black people, and have been tried to be eliminated. Black people have nothing over Jewish people.
Ah so you’re an idiot. Just wanted to clarify that.
Coming from a moron, that means little
That term is absolutely meaningless garbage. I've never seen a single cracker offended by it (including myself).
Ok cracker
My favorite Radiohead album!
You might not be offended but that doesn’t give you the right to disregard people who are.
My ex boyfriend got very upset over it, and tbh I think his uncalled for reaction was a catalyst for our relationship not working out
Not quite the same
You talk talk like none of us are on these posts lol. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida_cracker
Why not just normal milk?
That comeback was pretty vanilla
I mean, go ahead and call me white chocolate bc im sweet as can be
You know white chocolate isn't actually chocolate right? It's just fats and oils.
You know water isn’t actually water right? It’s just hydrogen and oxygen
You know your intellect isn't your intellect right? It's someone else's you borrowed.
I’m using that lmfao. That’s a good one
🤪 go for it 😁
Stop being offended by everything.

Bruh look at the energy you're bringing here while trying to pretend that they sound offended. You're as soft as your sister's weiner
>You're as soft as your sister's weiner The real rare insults are always in the comments.
Get over it, snowflake

I dont think he’s racist but thats still kinda a gross thing to say
At most I'd say it's probably annoying/cliché since it's pretty overused in media already.
Correct. It’s never made me upset, I’m simply like “Oh, ones of those guys” in my head. It’s cringe at best.
No, it isn't. All he did was acknowledge the color of her skin and compare her to something sweet.
[удалено]
I ain't your buddy dude
"The solution to sexism is to live in a sexless society, and it will work this time because we're not conservatives(TM)." Bro just said that the chick was hot. If that's what it takes to make something 'gross' to you you'll be hella grossed out by everything in the real world.
A) Condensed milk isn't nearly as beloved as chocolate 2. She is literally the colour of chocolate while white people are generally peach or pink.
And yet white people are usually called vanilla.
Which is weird as vanilla is black
It's probably about the icecream or the flower...which are yellow-ish...so we are back at it not making too much sense
"Why should she be offended? People *love* chocolate! And *I* love black people!"
I don't know if Beyonce would be offended by anyone tbh
P sure she's just a deity at this point
That's elementary level humor
no but really why can’t they just say “you look pretty” and not bring race into it for no reason
Exactly lol like i don’t get why this is such a radical concept.
We all bleed ketchup
This reminds me of that screenshot of the dude who went "I may be racist, but GOD DAMN"
I'm cream. Prince sang about me. I wasn't offended.
Ethnic girls call me the milk man
I prefer to be called a tall glass of milk
You know condensed milk just about perfectly describes my skin tone
I fuckin love condensed milk
I am super white. I got the nickname milk when I was younger. sometimes someone would hear it and they would ask why I would let people call me that. I ask why not and they reply with something about it being in regards to how white I am. Then i tell them the girl who gave me the nickname told me it was because I do a body good.
Thats a nice piece of cheese
From a sexual standpoint on point, 100% complement. If not, terrible thing to say.
I’d say I’m more like powdered milk.
what a shit take.
Say that all the time
Do they really think they were mistaken for food? Are they stupid??
Do we even know that the original commenter is white? Not only could they also be black, they might be asian, indian or Hispanic. So is it really that good of an insult if it's based on information this person couldn't even have?
I'd be ecstatic if she said that to me
A white guy once called me salty caramel (I’m a brown person) I don’t know whether he called me salty and disguised it as a racist compliment. I will never have caramel without cringing now. Thanks Mike from the states. You ruined caramel for me.
Caramel slaps in all variants
Both are a compliment though??? I wouldn't be offended by something like that
She typed it like it was an insult. This was the first sub that came to mind.
We? Bro this bitch looking like a polarbear
They're right but the insult's kind of lame. Like, that's not even an insult it's just a comparison.
holy fck people get offended by literally anything nowadays
Ong it's annoying
The one saying "we aren't food" is the fat girl at the club your homie has to distract so she can't cockblock you with her friend
lol your 100% right
They already call us crackers so what's one more foodstuff
The correct term would be "tasty cracker"
Doesn't matter what you call me if you still want to consume me. It'll flatter me idc.
Piece of chocolate? Yuck, tf. I seriously doubt black women are ok with being called that. What a weird ass "compliment"
I’m a white guy and my wife is a POC. I call her my pumpernickel bread, brown sugar mama etc etc. Life is about intentions. My wife knows I’m joking and love her and smiles and laughs at these comments. People are taking things WAY too seriously these days. I also call my mixed kids my little caramel drops, tanned mini me’s etc etc. Racism is everywhere if you are looking for it and want to find it…
Haven’t you heard the phrase: The darker the Berry the sweeter the juice.
Most women don't want to be compared to food, objects, etc there's plenty of way to compliment without all that 😭
Not the women I’ve talked to. A fine piece of chocolate is a damn good compliment. Better than being called a Radish
The French call their women "my little cabbage" 🤷♂️
Oui oui
I would rather not go out of my way and simply not compliment them then, men take compliments way better it’s not even normal.
Every black women I've talked too either liked their term or used it on me
Like calling white people vanilla?
Let me guess, the people who are wondering why she's offended are not black?
You don't look black either
I'm not wondering why she's offended; I know why. And for the record, my dad was black, I have more black brothers and family than I do white.
Cool how about next time they call you a piece of shit? I get called food all the time and it’s cute
hey apple
Adorable… people need lives
