Absolutely desperate for phenotype clarification
A guy out of the thin blue sky messaged me “I’m white by the way” after perhaps a year of online correspondence
I am NOT white. This poses a huge, perhaps insurmountable problem for me. I didn’t respond but my silence likely spoke volumes. Sad. Lost another online friend to the inexorable realities of phenotype
This is a huge problem. No one wants the internet to be this phenotype neutral place where we can have intellectual discourse untainted by phenotype. They all want to either brag or complain about their phenotypes. All of them. It never stops.

here i was thinking he was an enterprising superstudy azn

its sort of strange & underdiscussed how people can interact for years online without every clarifying each others races
everything is always implicit, noone ever explicitly asks "what race are you" because its too awkward/clunky construction & "where you from" inevitably allows for a degree of obfuscation that is taken advantage of by anyone with a brain and ego to avoid narcisstic injury or potential loss of human capital/credibility.....
