"You don't look Yoruba…" what does this even mean?
This never used to bother me until it started happening more and more often. Whenever I hear it, I’m not even sure how to respond, as it always catches me off guard.
I usually get this comment when I make a transfer to a sales merchant, cab driver, new colleagues, or just people in general, and they find out my name.
Where does this even come from?
