[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why on earth would I care about you or your skin? [/quote] Sometimes it can be informative or just fun conversation. My Taiwanese friend at work was always trying to avoid the sun because her mother said she should. She and my light-skinned black male co-worker would always be comparing their arms in the summer. They were pretty much the exact same shade, with one getting tanned first and the other catching up. She never burned but he did and had to be more careful when vacationing in the Caribbean. And a black co-worker was surprised when my freckles popped out in the summer and faded in the winter; he assumed they were permanent. This was a few years ago, but it seems refreshing now that my co-workers were so unafraid to discuss skin tone. [/quote]
