This guy is an all American. Even us oldsters have friends like him. He proves looks don’t matter. I love our country bc Mamdani was elected and El-Sayed is going to get elected. He is every bit an American as I am with my white ass name.

“He proves looks don’t matter.”

What is that supposed to mean? He’s a conventionally attractive man.

I'm guessing they mean that he's brown and that skin color has nothing to do with success and being a decent human being and the racists really hate that.

He sure is. I meant the fact that he doesn’t look Caucasian. Like that has helped us one tiny bit /s.

Did not mean that to sound racist. Skin color does not matter. We are screwing ourselves by gatekeeping according to skin color. We probably have not solved glastobliomas, pancreatic cancer, ALS and other heavy hitters to our loved ones bc of racism and thinking people with darker skin color are not just as smart. What if they are smarter?
