Should whities really be called pinkies?

Question

Since there aren't really "white" people, shouldn't we call them as we see em? And what about "black" people? Aren't they really a shade of brown?

Answer 1

Oh, yes, by all means, start calling people Pinkies and brownies. They like that.

Answer 2

My little boy has the right attitude toward color. There is brown people, tan people and yellow people. Where in this do you see white? Of course he does not come from a biased home.

Answer 3

There was an old joke about that. People used to call blacks 'colored people'. So take this. White people are often pink. When they get sunburnt, they turn red, when they tan, they turn brown. When white people get cold they turn blue, when they get sick they turn green, and when they die they turn grey. Where in the world did we get the notion that blacks are colored people?

Answer 4

I think we shouldn't refer to people by the color of their skin. We are all just people. We are all the same on the inside be you white pink purple yellow brown black green or whatever color you see.

Answer 5

No, that would be annoying because not all white people are "pink". I'm mixed but I get my olive complexion from the Swiss part.

Wouldn't it be great if we didn't label people by their skin colour at all?

Answer 6

No one should be called names other than their birth names.

Answer 7

White are called Caucasian, Blacks are called Afican American

Answer 8

the Caucasian race was not the first race of common mankind, the "black" race was. So the only real "colored" people are Caucasians.

Answer 9

But I'm not pink. The closest color my skin matches is white.

Answer 10

Pinkies are baby mice that you feed to pet snakes.
