“You’re pretty for a black girl”

I hate when not just other races say this about black girls, but African Americans alone say this to individuals. I think it’s a insult honestly because what are black girls supposed to look like? Not pretty? Others may see it as a compliment but in reality it’s not. Beauty comes in various colors, shapes, and sizes. There is no real term for the word: beauty.
