And ironically, I just thought of another one.
Haha, why give up? You're an excellent artist :D

Sigh...I guess my hearts not really in it.
I'll try. :)

there's more color on the white than the black and they call black colored? Ha.
Strange, I always thought black is different from coloured.
and also, when i see a black, white, brown, yellow, green, pink person... i don't see their color, i see them, i don't discriminate on skin color. nor race. dunno about any of you, but i've met plenty of hispanics who are very clean and polite, a lot more so than the media portrays them. (perhaps a bit more polite and cleaner than white people i know of)
Stereotypes. People like them because it simplifies their lives, at the cost of closing their minds.
Is this my final form?

In fact... white is normal skin color, and black is "colored" by melanin.
But I think it started when people for the first time met people with different skin and said "wow, they're looking like they are painted".
In a very big simplification.

Or, black is the normal skin color, and white skin color is caused by a mutation that lowers the melanin levels.

Quite. Similarly, lactose intolerance is the "norm", while the ability to drink milk is a peculiar mutation in some humans.

Which doesn't change the fact, that dark skin is colored.
But anyway, is it really so important? We're all humans after all.

Exactly, none of this matters.
