[quote=Anonymous]You know it was King (at the time Prince) Charles who asked the question about his grandson's "complexion". In his very awkward and socially inappropriate, narcissistic way. Sure context matters but honestly I cannot think of a non-offensive way to ask "What's the baby's complexion? How dark is it?" right after birth in a way that isn't offensive. Just asking the question implies that you care if the baby is dark. In UK culture, (and US culture) when asked by a white person, the expectation would be that lighter skinned was more desirable, and that someone asking this question wasn't asking just out of genuine curiosity.[/quote]
