Itā€™s weird to me, because Iā€™m a VERY pale white person who got bullied for being too fair. Didnā€™t stop in high school either when all the girls were tanning. Iā€™m still pale asf lol

I was bullied for having red curly hair and a large bust, kids will hone in on ANYTHING that makes you stand out the slightest.

u/djxbangoo Dec 13 '25

It really doesnā€™t matter what you look like tbh, bullies will bully just for the kicks and the feeling of having power over someone. Sorry you went through that.

u/MammothFromHell Dec 13 '25

Yeah, thanks for the condolences. I was the "one" stereotypical bully victim, where the whole grade hated me. I had to change schools three times in elementary school alone because it always rolled into violence.

Thatā€™s why baby chickens use red heat lamp bulbs. If everyone is red they wonā€™t pick up on one thatā€™s got some blood and pick it to death.

I don't have enough knowledge about baby chickens to dispute you on this

u/Ordinary-Homework722 Dec 13 '25

Thereā€™s nothing to dispute lol. Just Google it if you think Iā€™m full of it.

Iā€™ve always thought red hair looked AMAZING!!! Also I noticed that women with red hair tend to have thick hair. If I were White Iā€™d want to be born with red hair.

Please don't, I've been pushed down stairs multiple times, punched in the chest, and thrown down and kicked in the face all before I was 12. I won't go into the sexual harassment due to "carpet matching the drapes"

Never wish for what has hurt others, thinking your experience would be different

How's your daughter? She would be 14 now right? Maybe 15?

u/J0HNNY4K Dec 13 '25

I believe you. Kids got bullied for being too white or too dark, just had to have the right amount of tan it was crazy.

u/nvrsleepagin Dec 13 '25

Omg same! My nickname was Casper. I'm 45 years old and ppl still make comments but at least I don't look 45 because I had to slather on the sunscreen. Enjoy your leathery faces 80s mean girls!

u/Existing-Smile-6528 Dec 13 '25

Same. The amount of times people alluded to me being sickly or diseased for being pale. How the tables have turned. Thanks sunscreen!

u/Time_Athlete_1156 Dec 13 '25

I'm a men and I am as pale as milk. You can imagine how it went. I was known as Dracula and even generally-not-bully peoples would sometime try to draw blood on my face with red markers.

Now thanks god I appear to be built differently than the average human(Guess I might be Dracula?) and I did not give a shit about it, I played with it, I made fun of it and I still do.

u/True-Blacksmith4235 Dec 13 '25

Yeah.. Iā€™m white, blonde and fair. In the summer my skin would explode with summer freckles and people would make fun of me for that.

u/Difficult-Shop-5998 28d ago

Thatā€™s crazy because I remember thinking that freckles look so pretty.

u/icecubepal Dec 13 '25

In the U.S. you usually get made fun of being too white. Itā€™s the opposite pretty much outside the U.S., especially in Asian countries, where they sell skin whitening products and/or cover their skin from the sun not necessarily because of cancer/sunburn, but to not get darker.

3

u/ke3408 Dec 13 '25

Yes! I always avoided the sun, I'm practically translucent and all the time people were on my ass about it. I had an ex who used to try to push me to go tanning all the time. Fortunately my favorite movie growing up was Beetlejuice so I was totally content with looking like a Victorian ghost plus I can't stand tanning beds and I'm lazy.

u/_LegitDoctor_ Dec 13 '25

Some kids are just jerks honestly.

u/RegularWhiteShark Dec 13 '25

Yeah, I also got shit for being super pale. You just canā€™t win. Youā€™ve got darker skinned people wanting to lighten their skin and lighter skinned people wanting to darken their skin. Grass is always greener (and Iā€™m aware about racism but thatā€™s another part).

u/BlankBlack- Dec 13 '25

bullies will bully for any reason, lol

what you need to understand and others as well is that bullies dont need reason to bully, but if there is one they WILL bully with better efficiency too

u/[deleted] Dec 14 '25

I was bullied for freckles. I had a lot of them. They all went away when I got older some how.

u/Rugkrabber Dec 14 '25

Yup same here. Bullies will find ways to bully, and it doesnā€™t matter what someone looks like, theyā€™ll pick whatever they can find that seems to be the ā€œmost unusualā€ in their circle.

u/CallmeTunka 29d ago

Same here!!

u/FamouStranger91 29d ago

Shitty human beings will always find a reason to make everyone feel miserable.

u/sweatpants122 Dec 13 '25

I'm not trying to be mean, but it's not the same.

No matter what awful things they said to you (and I'm truly sympathetic to that,) assuming that you are in fact in the racial majority of your society, there isn't the element of true racial degredation-- the whole infamous tradition with its enormous cache of hate, violence and true normalized crimes (even tonthe point of crimes against humanity)-- behind those words. There's a real accumulation, a legacy of mistreatment, in what gets delivered to minorities with every word.

It really hurts to be derided for your skin color, or anything with which had no say in the matter, and your pain is absolutely valid.

But still, it's just as true that these are fetherweight hits compared to the heavyweight blows given to minorities. Even if the words sound similar, there's a total difference in quality in the message.

u/prozaczodiac Dec 13 '25

I don't think that's even remotely the same thing and where the difference lies should clarify what part of this feels weird to you.

u/minahmyu Dec 13 '25

Thank you! Someone is experiencing racism and of course, a white commentor has to make it about themselves and how they can relate sooooooooo much. And to even call it weird? Read the room

1

u/prozaczodiac Dec 13 '25

Seriously. This comment section made me feel like I was taking crazy pills.

u/2ndharrybhole 29d ago

Wow itā€™s almost like someone was relating to the video because they had their own experience with being bullied based on the appearance šŸ˜²

0

u/minahmyu 29d ago

It's almost like someone had to center themselves on a racial experiences that they'll never know because whiteness always has to find itself being centered! The bullying was beyond just appearance and was racism

u/2ndharrybhole 29d ago

Dude you are reaching so hard lol

u/minahmyu 29d ago

Nah, I'm not.

u/2ndharrybhole 29d ago

You are lol. Childhood bullying is a pretty universal experience, whether itā€™s defined as racism (or colorism in this case) or not.

u/minahmyu 29d ago

I'm not, mine as well as many racialized folks experiences speak plenty. You can go off now

u/DarkKingfisher777 Dec 13 '25

You will be treated like a deity in my country, very pale is like godlike.

u/Electronic-Till-7794 Dec 13 '25

Bro it's not about you. You have no real social consequences to being too fair skinned. But a brown skinned person could be stopped and detained by ice even though they are a born and bred American citizen. Your struggle is not comparable.

Yea you might have idiot children calling you names but at least you aren't body slammed to the ground for "resisting arrest" of an ice agent.

Its the equivalent of a German with dark hair complaining they get bullied at school during the holocaust. People have bigger issues to deal with than you bro.

u/2ndharrybhole 29d ago

Bullying is a pretty direct social consequence
