no way, where?

As I've seen black black people and barely tan black people I'd say it's to make it nice and simple. Same with white people.

I have asked this same question many times acctualey. But some blacks are indeed black, but most are brown. and whites really aren't white... but i guess they arent really tan either wel some are. maybe most are a peach color?? lol i dont know

naw i am really white...like pale...but what does it matter what color you are....the darker you are is becasue the sun did more damage to you skin...thats it...thats all it is...nothing else


-- Posted by whoami111 at 9:05 am on Nov. 8, 2008

I just realize some asians are paler and whiter than white people and they are still called yellow


-- Posted by The Wolfhound at 9:12 am on Nov. 8, 2008

Genuine africans are more black than brown. Genuine Mongoloids are more yellow than white. Why come up with the whole palette of colors if you can just use 3?

Nah, whites are not tan, most Hispanics tend to be tan, You don't really see whites being tan, unless they get their selves tan (sun bed) but its real rear. Their like a peach colored, reddish, pinkish, or pale color skin ton.

Not Medish people - they can be pretty dark, yet 100% White.

I said it was rear for them to be tan (most whites)!! The white Hispanics tend to be pretty tan.

White hispanics are usually mestizoes - therefore not White.

Whites in the USA are mostly predominantly Nordic - usually mixed subrace though.


If you go to some of the southern European countries and see medish people - you'll see that Whites can have dark skin.

Not in South Erurope.

I'd say about 20-30% of Whites are actually tanned or dak skinned.

That's not rare.

In the USA, it's different because most Whites in the USA aren't Medish.
