Skin color should not be a big deal, but some people get teased a lot for the way they look.

This young man has a friend who implied that his mom cheated on his dad simply because his skin color is so pale.

So, he started ignoring and avoiding her. Is he overreacting, or was she out of line?

Read the full story below for all the details.

AITA for refusing to answer my friend’s messages after she accused my mom of cheating?

I (19M) have an extremely unusual complexion, for a Southeast Asian, that is.

I have alabaster skin.

My classmates have called me ‘Albino’ for years now.

This man has a friend who never made fun of his skin.

My friend (19F) is the only one who hasn’t called me this.

She also has always been supportive.

I told her I have feelings for her eight months ago, but she rejected me.

We still carried on with our friendship though.

But recently, she said something that irked him.

Last week, she said something.

That maybe my mom slept with an American or a European.

I asked if she’s serious, and she nodded.

She said it’s the only explanation that makes sense. I must have Caucasian blood to be this pale.

She suggested he get his DNA tested.

I told her it’s just some weird genetics thing.

But she wouldn’t listen.

She said it’s time I get a DNA test with my dad.

He started ignoring her.

So, I haven’t answered her messages or calls.

I have been avoiding her in person.

She finally came over, and said I’m being petty. She said that she’s only trying to be rational about everything.

She’s making wild assumptions, and that’s not okay. She needs to apologize.
