Please let me know if I'm butting into a conversation I'm not welcome in.

I've talked with the husband of my (now-ex) girlfriend about this sort of thing in Australia. He gets a similar experience, even though he's not Indigenous Australian (his father is from Portugal and his mother from Norway) he gets comments from people who assume that he is Aboriginal about being light-skinned. He's said to me how he feels that he isn't white enough for some people and not black enough for others.
