HC white people think its ok, a compliment even, to tell black people they "speak so well?"

HC it's NOT ok to call them on it?

story: my friend (blk female) is going on med school interviews, and the most recent one she came from, the interviewer (white male) said to her, "you're a great applicant, and i'm amazed at how well you talk."
she doesn't respond, and changes the subject, and the interviewer says "do you realize that i just complimented you?"
she says: "what, that i can speak well? i would hope so, english is my first language..."
he says: "well, it makes you better than the rest of them."
she says: "the rest of who?"

the interviewer brushes it off, and quickly ends the interview. she hasn't heard from that school since, and regrets even arguing about it, saying that defending herself in the scenario was important because she has heard that comment one too many times.

so why is it rude to comment back on an issue that is rude to begin with?

HC It's not

HC Sounds like she doesn't need to go there if that is how the staff acts

HC I used to work at our med school admissions and that was NEVER a topic of discussion on interview day

HC Sounds like that person is just ignorant and doesn't realize

HC Tell her to brush it off ;) and keep her head high

HC it is better she found out in the interview than after she had been admitted?
HC I always hear people say, you sounded white on the phone?
HC God has a better place for your friend.
HC it is an oxymoron that an "intelligent" person can be so ignorant?

HC someone needs to start another fun/creative thread? Me so bored. :(

HC people won't just be who I want them to be?

HC people make such a big thing out of little things?

HC when people give you direction, they use generalizations, instead of specifics?

HC I don't know what "Add more drama" means?

HC I wonder if that means a gun fight, or baby-mama drama, or death, or a car jacking?

HC be more specific, please?

HC it's so easy to tell when people haven't been listening to you? Otherwise, they wouldn't ask you a question that you already answered!
