So why are you buying into the bullshit? If you are sick, you are pale. If you aren’t sick, you are fair skinned, or light skinned, or porcelain. ‘Pale skin’ is an insult, unless you’re an Indian and you’re describing the men with the firesticks coming for you on horseback.

Pale is the new tan? Look like a leather handbag? Jesus, what are these racist options? If somebody is tan, medium, or dark skinned then should they be trying to acquire a pale complexion? Didn’t think so, because that’s called whitewashing culture.
