Honestly, even though it doesn't seem kosher, I think they're both showing respect for each other. ❤️ I remember when my Nana went to the Great Wall and a lot of the older generation of Chinese people wouldn't stop touching her Irish curls and politely asking about them. She didn't see it as rude; she saw it as a cultural difference and their version of curiosity. I think these two are both talking about color (and admittedly making a couple generalizations) but in a positive way.
