While I don't know what has happened to you to make you ask a question like this. In the way that it was asked. I can not help but think that there might be an issue needing to be addressed on your part. I think this is an unfair question to many different groups of people. This is just some thing to think about. I appear to be "white" as you put it in your question. However, my father is of an African American background and my mother is of an Irish background.When I was fifteen I was raped by a man that was "dark skinned"as you put it.Now since I am of both the backgrounds mentioned was he mistreating someone "white"? If you think yes then I would say that this was a shallow answer. Because the mistreatment that I suffered had nothing to do with my color,or background,nor his.And just in case you didn't notice on the surface it was "dark skin" mistreating "white". But then that was not the problem in my case and I think that a lot of people confuse race with other misguided reasons for situations that are sometimes out of our control to avoid the real problem at hand. While there are those shallow minded people out there. If you let what they do consume you, race related or not, then you are not living for you.

people hated people because of their skin tone. I think you should be able to wear a shirt that says," I love white people, just as they should be allowed to wear theirs.  as long as your opinion(if any) does not infringe on theirs or your liberties.  if you wanna wear it wear it.

Your baby will be multi-racial. Like much of the world truly is. I hope it doesn't worry you! If it bothers people, they are not your friends anyway!

I do think some Chinese are very particular about color. My daughter is of Indian colour and she is just 4 years old and there are lots of chinese in her class who are also 4 years old and doesnt want to friend her saying she is black. Recently my daughter came home crying saying would you paint me in peach color. I asked her why and she replied the chinese kids tease her that she is black and not peach color as them and so they dont want to friend her. I just had to tell her that the color doesnt matter and to be a good person.\n\nI cant generalise, but this is a real experience. As everywhere there are nice and not nice.

YIKES, too much.  I wish I could post this picture of a friend of mine that's orange but I would be afraid she might see it and kick my butt.  It's scary!  Her white eyes are so bright and her skin is dark orange/brown.

I think it depends on your natural skin tone. If you ever watch Desperate Housewives, Brie (marcia cross) has alabaster skin. It's practically white! She's a natural redhead and that whole tone suits her. She wouldn't look good tan. Now me, for instance, I have a lot of natural olive tones in my skin, but I'm still a white guy. However, the olive tones allow me to tan really easily and as a result I look a lot healthier and radiant with a tan. I think the general consensus is that if you have light features, a fair complexion suits you better. Now judging by your avatar, I'd say you have dark dark hair and pale skin. If your look is kinda pale, maybe you want to add a little color with some blush, but if you're really pale?? Then I'd suggest staying really white, because chances are you have a northern european background, which means STAY away from the sun. In my opinion, stay pale if your're super pale already, chances are your skin quality is fantastic, and try to tan if you can tan easily, like me.\n\nHope this helps! Vote me for best answer, I'm trying to get my level up! ;-)

I prefer any skin tone.  My husband happens to be very brown.  He is from SouthEast Asia.  I don't think that colors are important at all.  God made everyone.  :)

We all have different amounts of melanin in our skin. If we have less, our skin is lighter. If we have more, our skin is darker.

Nope not at all.  As long as the couple is good together and happy w/ each other it shouldn't matter what colour their skin tone is.  I'm completely happy with my other half and he is black/ puerto rican.  If I would have stuck to 'my own kind' as people have phrased it I wouldn't have gotten with and fell in love with my bf.  And that would have been my loss.  When you limit yourself to just your own race you risk potentionally missing out on alot of good people and possibly love too.

take on personas and interview everyone.  there is a book, "black like me" where a white guy colored himself black, shaved his head, etc. and just walked around as a black guy.  kind of interesting.  or just use every different race friend you can beg borrow or buy, to go around and ask the same questions of the population.

Well, I think you need to start out young, when they first see someone who is of a different race.  Let them know that they just look different and that everyone looks different somehow.  Show them the differences between people...different shapes, sizes, noses, hands, feet, etc, not just skin color.  Look in a mirror with them and have them point out the differences.  NEVER be racist or use the n word even when you think they aren't listening or that they aren't around.  You definetly don't want it to ever slip or anything because if they hear it once, that's all they're going to think.

I would date one. I have no problem with the color of a persons skin. It is what's on the inside that counts!
