Idk. One time I said I don't like dark ones. My black co worker replied with: why? What do you have against darks. And I just said: shut up I am talking about chocolate (we were cool so I could speak to him like that)
No... most black people arent that sensitive that everytime you say color they get all defensive about race. Chances are, you care more about being not racist than he/she cares about you being racisf
(Sorry english isnt my first language so if this is a pun or something I'm totally lost)
