Conversation between my assistant and I yesterday. She is a 70 year old mother hen type.
Her: "Do you feel okay? You look pale."
Me: "I am fine."
Her: "You look really pale. Look at your hands, they are so pale. Are you always this pale?"
Me: "You do remember that I am a white woman, right?"
Her: "Oh I forgot, I thought you were a sistah."
What a great compliment.

I love it.
She was complaining about a co-worker today who was frustrating her and she sighed, shook her head and said with exasperation - "colored people".
She is African American. I cracked up laughing.
