Racist Compliment

A nice thing to say to someone, but at the same time, slightly racist. Usually used for black people because, let's face it, they're pretty athletic.
"Man Daryl is so fast, and good at jumping, and basketball."
"Probably because he's black."

Off duty paramedic: Well it was nice to meet you Claudia, but I must go now.

Claudia the nurse: Sir, I sincerely hope i never have to deal with you professionally. *Smiles*

Off duty paramedic: Well that's not very... oh I get it! Haha. Take care! *walking away and scratching head*

Claudia the nurse (under her breath): Got um :)

Later on a call

Paramedic: Man, I can't stop thinking about that nurse Claudia from St. Thomas. She schooled me with that backhanded compliment. I'm so confused. Is she attracted to me? That is the question.
