Brandi_S answered Friday December 8 2006, 5:30 pm: Well, you should definitely tell this guy you are uncomfortable with him hugging you. You shouldn't have to put up with anyone doing that because you are afraid they will think you are racist.
Besides, if they think you are a racist, but you know better, and see now I know better too. If this guy thinks you are racist because you ask him to stop hugging you because it makes you uncomfortable, then he is a jerk who's opinion doesn't matter anyway. I know it's hard for you to see that now because you are in school and have to deal with it everyday.
Do be honest with the guy. Honesty is always the best policy. If he throws up the race thing in your face, tell him, 'Hey man, no offence, but I don't even know you and it's because of that I don't want you to hug me. Your skin tone doesn't have anything to do with it.'
Inform him that the best way to find out if someone is racist is to talk to them and try to get to know them, not invade their personal space. Not all people are touchy-feely, and that has nothing to do with skin tone either. [ Brandi_S's advice column | Ask Brandi_S A Question ]
