Ageism, Racism, Or Just Petty? Woman Overhears Non-White Friends' Brutal Conversation About Her TooFab

The eavesdropping woman heard more than she bargained for as her repeated behavior was branded as “insecure white people sh-t.”
A woman has taken to the internet for advice after she overheard a brutal conversation — between two of her friends — about her own behavior.
Truly shaken, she posted to an anonymous forum on Reddit seeking a third party to weigh-in on the drama. Things got just as brutal on the AITA (am I the a–hole) forum as they did within her friend group.
Read on to see how this whole thing played out.
Original Post On Reddit
The original poster (a.k.a. “OP”) kicked off her post by giving some background information.
“I have a black friend and I’d always tell her how young she looks,” she explained. “I thought she would take it as a compliment on her appearance, we all want to look young after all. And she does look a lot younger for her age, which is impressive. I asked her for her skin care routine, and she gave it to me.”
OP went on to say, “I liked this friend and thought nothing of it. I would make comments every once in awhile about how young she looks.”
“I wasn’t trying to make her look stupid, but I’d just point out she doesn’t look her age, she looks much younger. I wasn’t trying to humble her either. It’s a good thing to look young,” she continued.
