Maybe not in every situation, but if they are also getting (or want to get) collagen lip implants and tanning year round, that's suspect.

And have you ever noticed how curious white folks can be about black hair? I had some white folks fawn over my braids just recently. When I went to the Bahamas, white women were lining up to get their hair cornrowed. In college, at camp, everywhere. Seen Christina Aguilera lately?

I have a "everything-but-the-nose" theory. Black feautures are (secretly) desirable and attractive. Except for the nose. Nobody's rushing to devise surgery for that.
