How so? Light skin requires less sunlight to absorb vitamin D. Vitamin D is essential in good bone health. Dark skin doesn't do as well in northern climates with low sunlight and can eventually lead to rickets in children or osteomalacia in adults when under a severe vitamin D deficiency.


good point, darker skin was an adaptation to being able to live in harsher amounts of sun without burning as badly where you get plenty of sun to get your Vitamin D

being light is an adaptation to needing to gain as much Vitamin D as you can possibly get even though it leaves you vulnerable to many things - lack of melanin is a deficiency that hurt yo8ur eyes (more cataracts) and you will burn more - skin cancer, and a number of other difficulties, but it is needed for the higher latitudes


You guys may find this interesting on the subject of racism


your link did not show up until I was going to reply with a "what?"

and after reading the article - I call class A trolling - especially as it is directed to 3 people discussing simple adaptations

I seriously wish this forum had a block feature I have run across you more than once


I wasn't trolling but trying to point out that none of us really know our history that well ! Jesus f*****g Christ none of us Caucasians aren't really that racist according to the black population and that s**t like slavery and using it against us isn't a valid point anymore! I'm innocent, you're innocent, we're all innocent of not oppressing black people but they still like to act like victims and play their little polar bear game!

I have something against them who play the polar bear game not against everyone who has that skin color. Too bad hating someone who you dislike and is different from your own skin color is considered racism now-a-days :|

If you have something against me fine, what-the-fuck-ever, just ignore me like everyone else does here and leave me the hell alone ! Here, you leave me alone and I'll leave you alone! I won't even post in the same mother f*****g threads you do, okay ?

I agree with odd ball , take Oprah as a example , all ways playing the race card (pity the billionaire ) she was in Zurich and the store attendant made some remarks that the $ 10,000 , was not available implying she was to black to afford it according to Oprah media whore screams racism! no I tell you what is was wounded ego that she was not reconised , she claims she didn't want to draw attention on herself :roll: , yet their she is in the media telling it about her "ordeal" .

The "average" Swiss are great they are about as celebrity struck as a autistic :wink:

Instead of getting defensive and proclaiming your innocence why don't you try to empathize with the victims of racism. Or better yet just focus on the topic. This was supposed to be a survey. It's not a debate about who is and isn't racist. I'd rather this thread die than to have turn into a "I'm white and I'm not racist" thread. No ones accusing you of anything so why do you feel the need to defend yourself?

Honestly? No. Because then I'd have to deal with racism on top of everything else - sexism, agism, and anti-autistic people. :(

Of course there are plenty of misconceptions about white people, like assuming we're all evil. Not that I don't entirely disagree with that...

I felt this way when I was about six and seven and then I grew out of it. Now I don't care if I am white and I don't wish to be black.

I've always wondered how I and my life would have been different if I were born of a different race.

I don't have any problem with being white though. Secretly wishing to be black sounds kind of pointless

I am who I am. I already feel alien enough in this world, if I suddenly changed what I looked like, it would make it worse.
I'm a mutt, and I'm fine with it. Everyone experiences judgment of some sort, it doesn't matter what you are. It depends on where you are, or what you're wearing, as to what kind of discrimination you experience, and how bad it is.

Sometimes I wish I wasn't white just because I feel that white is boring. And also I kind of feel bad when people say that white people are bad. I didn't ask to be this colour!! !

There's one in the new Comedy Central cartoon, Legends Of Chamberlain Heights. His two friends are African Americans & he keeps calling them My Nigz & gets slapped for it.

I have only read the last two pages of this thread and already discovered that one member linked a KKK website, another bumped it to post racist hate speech. Enough is enough..
