why do people go Tanning?

[Pakistani]

HEY! Don't call us ignorant for not being able to distinguish between Pakis and Indians. As far as I know, Pakistan includes a variety of "looks", depending on the ethnic group. For example, the Punjabi are darker skinned, and the Hazaras are more fair. All of the Pakis I have met in person have been quite dark-skinned, though.

i am not asking you to distinguish anything, all i said was that there are different versions of brown, look at my previous post and yes both pakistan and india have different varieties of colours, northern parts of pakistan and india have lighter skinned people and and southern areas have darker, but if you take all of pakistan as a whole, we are lighter brown then most indians, because india is a more tropical country then us, in southern india there are people who are darker then most people in Africa

If you go back in history, India and even pakistan was actually inhabitated by african people, even today there are tribal groups in India who are african, those people are the original indians. Even i have probably some african dna in me, eventhough i dont look african

^ i think you are wrong on that, only ignorant people say all the coloured people look the same, heck even with in white people there are different skin tones, for example southern europeans are darker then northern europeans, they look different to me. I dont think the world is that ignorant anymore, espeically where i live (toronto, canada) where people have great knowledge of other cultures because of the diversity here

He isn't saying that all skin tones look the same he says that people end up grouping skin tones together anyway. For example I have an olive skin tone, but people will call me white. Really it doesn't matter what skin tone you have or what tone people think you have or what it's called. at all.

not all olive types are white though, forexample most arabs would be olive skin, but they are not considered white

btw, off topic, here are the pics of indian tribal groups, these are the ancestors of modern indians, they are still there in small numbers, these pics are from anadman islands of the coast of india:

Native Americans = red
Asians = yellow
Half Native American / Asian = orange
Italians = green ==> Italians = (1/2 blue) + (1/2 yellow) ==> Italians = 1/2 Asian

The great question is what happened to the blue race

[misombra]

what is a spaniard mixed with a native american?

[DoesntMatter]

That has never happened and never will

[Petit Papillon]

what is a spaniard mixed with a native american?

btw, off topic

Errr, i think this thread went off topic a long time ago.

I didn't have to say olive I could have said purple skin, its aside from the point that was being made by warriormaiden. Take one person that is always called 'mexican' due to their skin tone, well they might have a rich heritage from Ireland or Puerto Rico or wherever for all we know, everyone has a background but they are 'grouped' as Mexican. You can't honestly say that you have never looked at a person and 'grouped' them as white, black, mexican, arab etc..... according to their skin

My GF is part Moroccan and she considers herself to be white.

My brother is white and he thinks he's black.
