HOW ARE WHITES PINK WHEN SOUTH ITALIANS AND GREEKS ARE NOT PINK how?

Question

How exactly are we pink? I AM OLIVE AND PROUD

Answer 1

It all depends on where your ancestors were from. Peoples from southern climates who are exposed to more sunlight have naturally darker skin than those who are native to northern climates.

Answer 2

It has to do with the amount of melanin in your epidermis.

In humans, melanin is found in skin, hair, the pigmented epithelium underlying the retina, the medulla and zona reticularis of the adrenal gland, the stria vascularis of the inner ear, and in pigment bearing neurons of certain deep brain nuclei such as the locus ceruleus and the substantia nigra. Melanin is the primary determinant of human skin color.

Dermal melanin is produced by melanocytes, which are found in the stratum basale of the epidermis. Although human beings generally possess a similar concentration of melanocytes in their skin, the melanocytes in some individuals and ethnic groups more frequently or less frequently express the melanin-producing genes, thereby conferring a greater or lesser concentration of skin melanin. Some individual animals and humans have no or very little melanin in their bodies, which is a condition known as albinism.

Answer 3

It just depends on your race... Northern Europeans are pink white, while Souther Europeans have skin color similar to wheat.
