white face

Dear White People, 
This one's not about you.  Relax.  
​
So riding the A train downtown the other day, this Korean girl (yes, I can tell the difference!) sidles next to me and asks, "What whitening cream are you using?" What she meant was, I can't help but notice you are one of the lighter yellow varietals. This cannot possibly be natural.  I must be using a daily dose of bleach on my face.  I mean seriously. I'm American, and in America, a ski goggle tan is a status symbol.
