A friend of mine (Chinese) and I (whiter than white bread) were at a coffee shop a few years back, and a group of teens of mixed racial backgrounds came in and were discussing amongst themselves another friend who had gone tanning, and was much darker now, and how she looked really good compared to someone else they knew who was all splotchy, citing "White people just tan funny." Then the conversation turned turned to skin tone in general. One guy asked another to do describe him, and the friend said "you're kinda yellow, like a toasted Twinkie." After a few more attempts to find yellow things that matched the kid's skin tone, my friend jumped in with "no, *I'm* yellow. It's a whole historical thing about calling Asians yellow. And it's not that white people tan funny, it's that they don't tan at all. Look at my friend, you put her outside for five minutes and she goes directly from translucent to lobster!"

Meanwhile I'm just like "My family first came to North America more than 400 years ago, the lack of melanin in our skin is really the only plight my people have faced."
