Sarcasm, or any other kind of humor, unless it’s really outrageous, does not translate when texted unless you indicate that’a what it is somehow, like a lol, or a laughing face or something. Lighten up. Your comment didn’t look humorous to me, either until you said it was.

There IS a negative bias against darker-skinned people, and a positive bias for lighter-skinned people, in many parts of the world. One only need check consumer products to see it; the more skin lightening products, the more likely a higher prevalence. To ignore it, or posit that it does NOT play a role in hiring practices, is just silly denial. There is also the accent to consider, depending on who is doing the hiring. No offense, but many Indians speak English with a very heavy Indian accent that even native English speakers have to “actively listen to” to understand what they’re saying. Other Indian English speakers have a heavy British accent that takes little “active listening” to understand. Not knowing what your accent is, I couldn’t judge, but it may also be a factor.

Same meaning as an American “giving shit” to someone for something they’ve said or done. It’s not literal.

I buried a small bag of cash once. Wish I hadn’t been drunk…., I hope SOMEone found it.

lol, right? Like asking if they check for illegal substances. Though it COULD just be simple curiosity, I suppose.

Evidently, apologizing for a perceived offense IS who he is. Don’t instruct people to be you.

It takes a really decent person to say this, whatever it was. And leads me to believe that whatever it was, it was either unintentional or unthinking, and not a reflection of the person you really are. You have a conscience. I take my hat off to you. Respect.
