I thought it was a bit insensitive to mention that being mistaken for a bengali (due to skin tone) is a bad thing. I know some individuals have that in them (for example a Pakistani being mistaken for a Bengali/Indian and being insulted by it). I think it’s silly. A lot of South Pakistanis and bengalis/Indians can be mistaken for each other.
Anyway, I did not mean to pick on you. I just felt it was a strange remark.
