BACKHANDED COMPLIMENTS... | ShxtsNGigs Clips 

I almost spit out my chips at that. 😂😂😂

The funniest thing he has ever said, i had to take a lap around my apartment

I CAN'T with him😭😭🤣

FAM what the hell bananas oh my

Ok ok 😂

Wilddddddd! 🤣🤣🤣

The wayyyy I would get it from Asians sooo often. Basically any group the prides themselves in having lighter skin tones. Traumatizing

On god!! So fnk disrespectful n annoying

Same!!! But it just takes one mean girl to turn any phrase to shit lol

Right I feel like multiple of these are actual compliments it just depends on the situation it's used in

SAME!! It was always the teachers! I used to hate that shit.

This is going on my list of "How to explain Crabs in a Barrel to my non black friends"

Same thing in South Africa when I go to visit family. Ironic thing is a lot of my family members who have never stepped out of South Africa are a LOT more articulate than me 🫠

I use to get that alot working at a call centre dealing with people in the US, they would be so shocked when I say I’m from South Africa. “Like wtf they teach us english here as well.” 🙄

I grew up in SA too, they used to say i had an American accent.

😂😂 "How could they"

Yeah hahahH

Lil bro was shook.

That 'Today'

I also wear glasses and I saw this comeback once: You also look better without my glasses on.

Thai is literally the reason I switched to contacts cuz atp I gotta change sum😂

You’re about to set off so many triggers within me 😂 The unmitigated gall…

Some girls are really good at it and make it look natural. Others not so much. I mean, they don't necessarily look like clowns, but I hate that obvious makeup look. Like reds being too red, and the contrast with other lighter parts just isn't right.

Yup has that too, I just tell them at least mine don’t fade away and go about my day

What if... James comes up with same convo to Fuhad after Tenerife?

@@Caz8142 yo why do you sound so offended by that. Absolutely no person who would be willing to come up to you and say that means it in an offensive way. You find it offensive because you are deciding to take it that way. I'm white - in Thailand a monk sat beside me on a train, held his arm next mine and pointed how I'm lighter than he is and proceeded to laugh. A monk, bro. Full outfit and everything. Of course I saw him about an hour later playing on his phone. It's was a funny experience - also something funny to bring up when you talk about traveling

@@iliilliliiliilliliiliillil9137Yes, for YOU 🤣 you can’t be jarred about how other people feel, that’s YOUR experience. Come on chief this is not science hao. You typed a paragraph for what hhayi 🤣🤣🤣

It doesnt matter how you intended it to sound like it isn't an insult, it still is. What you feel about that backhanded compliment isn't the general perception and knowing that, and still telling women that, is knowingly letting them feel like they've been insulted regardless of what you think of it. Because everything James said about that haircut is exactly how it feels to receive it. You're telling them all the time, care and effort they gave to put into their appearance was a waste. And as a woman who's received this before and know other women who've received this before, collectively we all agree 'literally who asked?' every single time. The only time a compliment of this nature is fine, is if you're compliment a woman that isn't already wearing make up and you want to make her feel beautiful in her natural skin, not when someone already went through effort to look a certain way.

@@Cajun_Seasoning that's on them then. Not on me. With all due respect that's just being insecure

I wouldn’t know whether I should laugh or feel disrespected 😂😂😂

yes

lol my friend from there can barely speak Afrikaans. 😂 He always speaks English.

That’s fight talk 😂😂

Nah if they actually didn’t like you they wouldn’t have said that! They like you don’t worry!

Maybe they get the vibes that you don’t feel comfortable and it makes them feel awkward, so they want to extend the invite but not make you uncomfortable by doing so. Maybe have a smoke or drink before you go next time and enjoy being there. I’m sure you’re a ball of fun once you relax and come out of your shell. 😘❤️

Ellis is a cool dude though. That's why we LOVE him so much❤ He has a great sense of humour ❤ Also I could hear him laughing in the background ❤❤
