That you've noticed.
I have in mind the people I've worked with - I would have known where they were from even if they were lighter-skinned.
That still fits with what I was saying. I wasn't assigning a negative meaning to it.
I'm a white dude and I work with an Indian guy that's lighter skinned than I am
Right? My cousin is as Indian as I am (her parents are my parents' siblings), but she frequently has to convince people she's Indian British and not white British. Whereas I'm very obviously south Asian.
