I look at skin color a little bit (maybe not in the way that this post was originally talking about though...lol). I am someone who is outside a lot, so if I see someone who is so pale and without a tan then I figure they are not outside much. How are they going to be doing stuff outside? But I know some people just do not tan so it is not for certain.

that's such a Dude response. Love it Dude. soaking up them rays

Not skin colour itself, I can actually appreciate that. But different skin colour also means different cultural background and that is a reason for concern.
And not because it means having something against that culture but because it can mean it isn't congruent with yours.
Been there, done that, and we both were Caucasian but from different countries and thus cultural background. Was not easy while both were Western cultures let alone how difficult it can be with another one.

This to me sounds like you are trying your best not to offend in the best way you can. Identifying people by race is done obviously by visual identification and using this as a reason to dislike what you see and make a broad judgement casting your opinion on all that look that way is racist as we all know. Using your vision to identify culture by colour is 1. a super power or 2. racist.
I am happy you chose to enter this discussion, it shows the willingness to change. I hope. I think we all have our preconceived ideas of beauty or our taste. Think about the music I enjoy and how a song can move you in every way. Now imagine listening to one of those songs (heavy metal is my go to) on a day you need the comfort, support, bravery etc and someone walks in the room and insists it's nothing but noise and turns it off. Then asks if I'm a Satanist and hate everything.
That person just showed me that to them everything fits into a box with a label. Heavy metal goes into a box that is hate and satanic and this is probably how the rest of his idea of how life can be judged. Don't fall into this and if this is how you were taught to think, do yourself a favour and stop yourself from this way interaction with people. Being African does not mean you a Brown or black person anymore. I'm African and white.Been a White person does not mean you American or European or pure evil. You also seem to think that no two cultures are compatible. This might cause you to have a few discussions about things that will enrich this relationship or find out your culture sucks and adopt or adapt a new one. I'm going on a lot so to close my point. YES colour does matter it's foolish to say otherwise. Should it??? NO. because judgement by colour is stupid and it's a stupidity that we have been taught by our in my case racist white people and I choose not to teach that crap to my kids. We can choose change and it starts with blue eyes. Everyone with blue eyes should be thrown in jail because dumb reasons. The last bit is a joke but now you can see how using colour to judge is F.. ING stupid. Love not hate exceptance of difference is our strength. Love you all and have a great day.
