Eddie, I don't consider you white since you are middle eastern, but I guess you're still leaning toward whiteness :P

JalineHmmm. This sounds like a problem for PANTONE!

By the way, I'm still talking about skin colour here, not culturally. Because otherwise I'd be white too.

???
U would be culturally white? I'm sorry, i'm confused. (more than usual)

well that just proves the point that white isnt the only colour of a designer we come in all flavours shapes smells and textures....
i am diagnosed to be colour blind in my right eye.

haha, eddie.
Tango, I mean that I was born in Canada and in North America the majority of the people are white, and therefore the culture is more based upon those "white" stereotypes and western culture. You could also talk about Christianity, but people of all different races are Christian.

I know arabs that are 100% arab and their skin is extremely white. Pale and ashy white elbows and all that shit.

yeah me too.

i see. that's interesting. in the US proper, white is rarely spoken of as a "culture" unto itself. it's just a color thing. regardless of what the comedians say, whites and blacks do not move in lock-step. distinctions are often ignored in favor of blanket catagorizations. combine that with assimilation (it's on 10 over here) that moves in all directions and cultural identity becomes some sort of familiar mist. just ask Micheal Jackson!
- ItTango0
uh... don't ask Michael.

yeah, racism isn't discussed here and that may be worse, but it causes less problems for now :\
