Think about the reasons you apply sunscreen. We're sure preventing early aging and skin cancer is high on your list of reasons. Is trying not to look like races other than white another reason on your list? Yeah, we didn't think so. In today's episode of the infamous "Am I the A$$hole?" subreddit, the original poster told fellow Redditors about how her friend accused her of being racist for applying sunscreen regularly.

Then commenters started stepping in, one of which who was actually Japanese, decided to set the record straight.
