Hey lady, not cool!

Today, while filling out paperwork at the dermatologist's, it asked what color I would use to describe my skin tone. When the nurse saw that I chose fair, she mumbled, "Ghost is more like it." I have a severe sun allergy. FML

so much for being professional. Hopefully you told her and she apologized.

that's just really unprofessional and rude of her. some people just don't know when to shut up.

People should always act professional and not mumble inconsiderate things about their patients/clients. I'm sorry this happened to you. I have fair skin too so I know how you feel.

I would have cussed her out.

I don't think Americans and Westerners in general should be so disappointed about pale skin. People in the rest of the world especially Asia usually prefer paler skin. There are even reports of discrimination in China against more brown skinned people.

sorry about your condition, but why are you ashamed of being pale?? i'm porcelain white and proud of it!!

asian women usually envy people with white skin. i dont think you'd ever see it in your local market, but here in the philippines you can find whitening lotions, whitening soaps, whitening bath scrub salt stuff, and salons that offer skin bleaching treatments. my wife is filipina and uses those same whitening skin products but i still think she looks prettier with tanned skin. just a westerner's opinion on that i guess, but yeah your nurse was just a douchebag to mutter anything under her breath like that.

I would have walked right the **** out of there. That is extremely rude.
