"He’s black and svelte, and looked at me for a long moment before saying, 'I believe it, and you should really think about that.' I told him it was all I could think about, then I showed him my heat rash."Is that a racial microaggression I see in the NYT? That's paragraph 2 of "Admit It. Summer’s Terrible," by Maeve Higgins.
I have the same problem with light skin and harsh sunlight, but I can't imagine unloading my woe one-on-one to a black person (unless I had established intimacy with him — that is, not just "my co-worker"). Maybe his "you should really think about that" meant something other than you ought to think about your little I'm-so-white problem more extensively.
This is another NYT article with no comments. I looked, because I wanted to see someone on the page providing some pushback, and yet I can see why the NYT would not want crabby meanies stepping on one of their lighthearted fun things.
Thus articles "[My body is] not designed for heat or brightness,' I complain to my co-worker. 'This is the worst thing about being white and …' I search for the words 'and portly!'"
