Whether you're Latino, Asian, black, white or Native American, however you wear your hair, whatever language you speak, whether you're a person with a disability, an LGBT person, Jewish or from the Midwest, many of you have been offended by so-called "compliments" from people who just don't get it.

After last week's very popular Ask the White Guy, we asked our readers what "compliments" they find most offensive--and they can't stop talking about it.

Here are more of the "compliments" that most offend you:

I was telling a story to my friend that my [63-year-old mother who migrated here from Asia] got a job at one of the retail stores in the mall, and [the friend said] that she admires my mom a lot and the fact that she could make change. I looked at her questioningly, and she repeated that she can make change--money (during the transaction). I was just astounded. She knows my mother is a retired business woman who is the owner of her own business [and] is a certified public accountant.

"You don't look disabled" is what I get when parking in handicap parking. I'd ask the person, "What does disabled look like?" Sometimes I tell them that polio didn't care what I looked like when it assaulted my body … as a naïve, cute little infant. I also get, "You don't act like most disabled people I know." I think they mean it as a compliment, they clarify that I'm not bitter and have a great outlook on life. I've never known quite how to respond to this, other than to set a positive example by being myself. No matter what you've been dealt in life, it is what you do with the cards that set us apart.

A straight woman once said to me, "You are very cute, you know," and later said to a friend nearby, "She is very cute ... she could even get a man." This comment/compliment comes from such a strange, misinformed viewpoint; it is hard to respond to it. I try to laugh at its absurdity now.

[A] woman took my hand and said, "You are so nice; you don't seem Jewish at all!" I told her that I am very Jewish and she dropped my hand and walked away.

--Madaline Muir

I was once told I was not "too" black. My question is, not too black for what? Coffee, chocolate, mud pies?!

--LaJuana Caldwell

We can all sit around and whine about what makes us different, or we can share in what connects us. What's wrong with making stupid comments when they become the beginning of understanding? I think compassion has no gender or color.

--John Smith

I, too, as a black woman have been told that I "presented myself very well" and that I "speak very well," and all by the same person during a job interview! I applied for this job and got invited to interview with this company. Before the interview began, he apologized and said that I didn't have the qualifications that they needed and he didn't want me to feel as if he had wasted my time by calling me in to an interview. Before I could ask why I was asked to come in, he said he wanted to meet me in person because I spoke very well and I presented myself very well on the phone! Needless to say, I left immediately and was extremely glad I did not get hired there. Imagine working in that environment!

--Sandra Goodwin

I'm always so offended by comments about my family. I'm a successful business woman and a top performer at my job. The offensive compliment that I most often hear is "I don't know how you do it." Frankly, I put my pants on one leg at a time just like everyone else. I've also heard "Didn't you know about birth control?" and "You should be a stay-at-home mom," and "You should wear an S on your chest for Superwoman." I wish folks could just focus on the fact that I'm a good employee and leave the rest alone. I interviewed for a job earlier this year with my same company but in a different area. I had the perfect background and was on my second interview. It was going beautifully and then she asked if I had children and how many. I know I hesitated, but I responded with an honest answer--which is 5. She asked the age ranges, and that pretty much ended the interview. Needless to say, I didn't get the job.

I don't think of you as Italian, you're not like the other "guineas." Or, you would be a knockout if you lost 50 pounds.

--Antoinette Coughlin

Because my skin is of a lighter tone, my eyes are a light hazel brown and my hair is straight and a light brown, I always get, "What are you mixed with, because you can't be African American, [you're] too pretty." … It is as if we don't come in more than one tone of beauty. And is that really considered a compliment?

--Selma Owens

I had no idea this was considered to be a racist remark! Maybe I'm naïve but I do consider the word "articulate" to be a compliment and am impressed by anyone that I meet whom I would describe as articulate. I'm in shock and disappointed that words like these can be destroyed by people who use them with a negative swing. I am white and would feel proud if someone said they thought I was articulate. It makes me sad to think that my African-American counterpart might be denied the same pride. It also makes me sad to think that I might have inadvertently used a racist comment and offended someone without even knowing it! I wish communication could be more of a fine science so we could get to the "meaning" of words without having to second-guess intent.

--Rachel Murray

I am actually more offended by blacks who receive these type of compliments (as the rest of us do) and are NOT offended by them. And I am downright repulsed by the ones who feel that they receive them because they have "worked hard" and made it and now they have "earned" these compliments. And they just can't seem to understand why the rest of us have such "fragile egos" about the subject.

--Tammy Moore

The "compliment" that has baffled me over the years is "You're really pretty ... for a brown-skinned girl." The first time I heard it was in high school and it really bothered me because I didn't know what to think. The guy who said it was black and as you can see, it stuck with me.

--Amy Withheld

I am a white Hispanic born in the USA. My parents are white Dominicans. An example of the kinds of questions/comments I am offended by are "I thought people from the DR were all black?" or, the infuriating "You're too pretty to be Dominican."

--Irma Bonetti

Offensive compliments do happen quite often across the race and ethnicity line. However, my personal [least favorite] is the one that comes from your own "people." As a Latina married to a white guy, I have heard many "compliments" from my fellow Latinos [such as] "Wow. How did you catch this guy?" "Congratulations for contributing to improving the race ("mejorar la raza")," [and] "You don't look like a Kerr to me" (referring to my married name).

--Anna Giraldo-Kerr

I am a white male and I teach a three-day diversity workshop. The comment I get often is that I am very sensitive for a white guy.
