This is something that has legit bothered me from a young age.
White people aren’t white. I don’t know the name for that weird color. Sand? Whatever it is, it’s not white!And black people aren’t black. They’re clearly brown.
What idiot started calling us black and white when we’re clearly brown and sand!
Some are real close, hard to tell someone with strong Irish ancestry that their skin isn’t white. There’s plenty from Africa on the opposite end where you’d be hard pressed to say their skin was brown. Just defined by the closest major color, I can’t think of a better system.

Billy Connolly once described his skin colour as “pale blue” :)
And, we’ve legitimately had that before. Can’t forget the blue people of Kentucky.
