I really hate this, any statements or questions like this about girls from certain places being “more beautiful”. And comparing girls in a region? F—-. The line between this and “white girls are more beautiful” or “thin girls are more beautiful” is non existent. Added to that, it exoticises and others women based on where they are from. It isn’t a compliment. It’s objectification and it’s oppressive. Loved mehreenkasana’s response.
"An atheist?! But you are so nice!"

-The implication being that the only possible way to be a good/moral/nice person is to have a religion.  This is often followed up by statements such as “Are you sure?” or “No, you can’t be, because you don’t behave like an atheist” or “Well, have you ever considered [insert person’s religious denomination here].” Makes me feel frustrated, misunderstood, unheard.
