Continued Diversity & Representation in Customization

If that’s racist AF, I’d hate to see what’s past that.

I mean, there’s nothing worse than some white dude cracking a joke about lack of melanin to top off the racism charts

@Anadisong-moon-guard

I call myself melanin deficient

You can call yourself whatver, but you cant call other people that.

@Dylania-wyrmrest-accord

If that’s racist AF

If someone referred to dark skin as a deficiency. The world would be on fire, because “racism”. It’s the same thing.

Deficiency implies the body needs it to be healthy. You can be healthy regardless of Melanin.

Sir and or madam.

“Fair” meaning is different than “fair skin,” though. I’ve been searching through Google for the definition of “fair skin” and every single one is saying this:

Fair skin is characterized by a lack of pigmentation. It’s often seen among people of European descent, although it can be found in other ethnic groups or nations as well.

It is important to note that beauty standards are culturally specific and can vary widely from one culture to another.

What Is Fair Skin Color Exactly?

What color is fair skin? The color of fair skin can vary from person to person. Fair skin can range from a pale ivory color to a pinkish or peachy hue.

In some cases, fair skin can have a slight yellow undertone. The color of fair skin is determined by the amount of melanin present in the skin.

Fair skin is characterized, as mentioned, by a lack of pigmentation which results in a lighter color. Some common features of fair skin include:

• Lighter skin tone. As mentioned earlier, fair skin has a lighter skin tone and shade than other skin types. The color can range from very light beige to a light pinkish hue.
• Visible veins. Fair skin is thinner typically, which means that veins can be more visible on the surface of the skin. This is especially true on the face, where the skin is more delicate.
• Freckles. Fair skin is also more prone to developing freckles, which are small brown spots that appear on the skin. Freckles are caused by the sun’s UV rays, and they are more common in people with fair skin.
• Redness. Fair skin can be more prone to redness especially when exposed to the sun or when experiencing temperature changes.
• Prone to sun damage. Fair skin is more sensitive to the sun’s UV rays, which means that it can be more prone to sunburn, premature aging, and skin cancer.

It is important to note that these characteristics are not exclusive to fair skin and can also be present in other skin types. Ultimately, every person’s skin is unique and should be celebrated regardless of its tone or features.

Sorry my mistake I expected folk to read what I posted the link to.

“Of the main modern senses of the word, that of “light of complexion or color of hair and eyes, not dusky or sallow” (of persons) is from c. 1200, faire, contrasted to brown and reflecting tastes in beauty. From early 13c.”

I can get more about the slow change from its originally meanings towards exclusions of darker tones and concepts that lead into racism if you’d like but it’ll take a bit for me to get good sources back up.

Also for some reason it wont let me load up Faerinath’s link…

If that were what was said, yes, it would be rightfully on fire. But we’re equating the exact inverse as also racism? The context here is a self-deprecating joke.

As for the health impacts, there’s a number of things that can reportedly stem from having clinically-deficient melanin production. It’s easily pulled up, and yes you can be healthy, but sometimes it can be a challenge depending on how deficient and your other risk factors.

[Sendryn-sentinels]

I’m not trying to start a fight or anything. I’m just giving the facts of everything I’m reading.

If people want to twist it just so they can fight about it, more power to 'em. I’m not a part of whatever argument is going on with whoever. I just wanted to clear up what dermatologists, cosmetologists and the rest of medical science and everything I can research is saying.

[Fuzzbutt-zuljin]

I’m a still stay out of it. D:

You realize any race can be racist towards any race right? We’re not talking about Systemic Racism here.

The Tauren didn’t use it in a self depreciating joke. Which who I snapped at.

If you want to split hairs, sure. But are we gonna then start talking about Sickle Cell or something? In geneal people are 100% healthy regardless on the color of their skin. Which is the point as to why it’s ate the hell up to refer to someone by the level of melanin in the skin as “melanin deficient”.
