Light-skinned African American people typically have a much paler complexion than their darker skinned counterparts. Due to centuries of interracial mixing, light skinned individuals often possess facial features that look more Caucasian than African American, such as lighter eyes, shorter noses and thinner lips. These physical attributes combined with their pale skin tone can create an odd or peculiar impression, especially when compared to the classical features seen in many dark-skinned African Americans. Hence, this stark contrast often leads to light skinned individuals appearing "weird" or noticeable in a crowd.

Light-skinned African American people often experience social and familial pressures to either reject or conform to eurocentric standards of beauty. These pressures can lead them to seek out or accept skincare, hair, and makeup tips which often results in them appearing “weird” as you describe it. This is because these tips frequently emphasize mimicking lighter skin tones and eurocentric features which are not typically seen among darker-skinned people of color. The practice has been noted by many to create a false sense of being more accepted by the mainstream, while creating a distorted idea of what Black beauty actually is.
