I've never understood the terms "White" or "Black" when it comes to people's skin colour. The above image depicts "white" and "black", and I certainly have never encountered a single person that matched those colours. I can see "Light", "Dark", "Tan", "Brown", "Olive". I can see "Caucasean"... But as for terms "African American"? I work with people who are more pale than I am, and they were born in Africa, and so were their parents. I see on the shopping channel here that they refer to "Black" Women as "Women of Colour", when they are selling hair products or cosmetics or hair products for darker skinned people. I think we should stop labeling people and just state the colour of skin we are seeking to find, be it golden, beige, sunburned, or whatever....

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
