I am? No!
That comment was made to me in Kolkata by a drunk, middle aged Indian businessman who was gorging on the hotel buffet with his fat friend.
Giggling like little school girls, they were downing beer after beer and chain smoking. The skinnier (relative term here) one started to chat with me, asked me what I thought of India, etc. Then he made the "you're very white" comment! I just looked at him and said that my people had come from a place where people were, well, very WHITE and that I didn't tan very well. I always considered myself more of a pinkish color, but whatever. I was so tempted to say something along the lines of "You are very fat" or "You smell like you ate a nicotine bush," but I really didn't take his comment as offensive.
Just stupid.
