Title: Proudness poll
Post by: pytheas on January 20, 2012, 07:55:21 PM
POLYMORPHY

life's blessing

one consciousness
our priviledge
a human mark

we may ail differently
still pain the same

inbreeding is deadly to non-komodo dragons

Are you asking what color we are?

I depends on the time of year I guess.  Usually I'm sort of yellow-ish, but in the summer I get more brownish, and right now I'm pasty with pink swirls.

technically we are all bastards, there is no "extreme" titration of any one racial origin.
beware when political correctness blends out details that are obviously not relevant in social justice but are statistically important in medical considerations

after all the USA problem has been a missisipi burning and degrading social justice
and in india the absurd caste system persists
but above all the greek slave system has prevailed, not restricted to race, origin or belief
aren't we all slaves according to what we OWE?

LOL!!  In denial of what?  That's actually what color my skin is (assuming that's what you're asking.)  During the winter, I turn a kind of pale yellow.  I recently noticed that my skin right now is the exact same color as my Korean friend's, if that helps you picture it. That made me happy because she's got gorgeous skin and I'm happy to resemble any part of it.   If I get any sun in the summer, I turn brown.  Right now I'm sick, so I'm paler than usual and my nose and under my nose and around my eyes is pink.  Exactly what I said.  I'm not in denial or ashamed of my "color."  I think I have a fine color.

At the moment, my arms are about an 18, but my face is about a 4.  LOL   In the summer if I get enough sun, I can get up to about a 21.

There is a big gap between 26 and 27.
I think I was one of the last generation that thought tanned was good.
I did stop seeking colouration from the sun a long while back.
I haven't had to have bits of myself cut away as yet.

I think I know what you mean Pytheas.  Some people are too scared to admit that they even see the color of people's skin.  First of all, I call BS whenever someone says something like "Oh, is he (insert whatever "color" here)?  I hadn't noticed..."  That's not the way our brains work.  We sort and store info about our world by putting things in categories using both similarities and differences.  That's why we can recognize a pine, a maple, an ash, but we can also also recognize that they are all trees.  That's just how our brains work.  But I also think that by refusing to acknowledge differences, we are losing out on the beauty of diversity.  Humans are a lovely diverse lot with all sorts of beautiful variations.  I'd rather celebrate that than ignore it.

I'm pretty pale (not as pale as my husband.  He's so pale he's almost translucent.  He doesn't tan...at all).  My dad was Swiss, and My mother was Sicilian so I have a faint tinge of Olive.  I'm always befuddled when people insist that pale people tan.  What the heck?  I usually tell them, "I don't want skin cancer and wrinkles.  Thanks."

Somehow, Asmo, that is not at all what I expected.

I've tried to embrace my pasty whiteness, but quite frankly I still hate it. Maybe by the time I'm an ancient old lady I'll finally accept that I'm not an elegant sepia tone.

Trust me, being sepia toned isn't all it's cracked up to be.  People definitely aren't sure what to make of white-ish American-ish people.  I've been Americanizing my maiden name all of my life.

Trust me, being sepia toned isn't all it's cracked up to be.  People definitely aren't sure what to make of white-ish American-ish people.  I've been Americanizing my maiden name all of my life...

I hear ya. My artistic sense wars with my practical sense. Unfortunately, being white is still an advantage in a practical sense. I think its stupid, but there you go. But speaking aesthetically, I find pasty white to be ugly as all get out. No offense meant to other pasty whites out there ... I'm speaking purely from my mirror's perspective.  ;)

I'm in the same fish belly white boat.  The only advantage I can see is that so many of my veins are easy to find when blood needs to be drawn.

Ummm...I like red so...Indian red sun?

But what are these meant to represent?

symbolism of hue

amerindian, mexican, north, meso and south american native, aztec, inca, mayan, all the tribes massacred by spanish and anglosaxon heritage from top to bottom of a wonderful continent

I pressed hard to find mascot connotations that would not be seen as derogatory, and the sterotype red indian (as opposed to India ) together with my admiration of them in that the setting sun red color and vibe befits an eg. apache more than a byzantine emperor, resulted in the mediocre expression "indian red sun"

Obviously I would invent a type of transparancy that involves letting me see and making anything that is touching me or inside me transparant as well.  Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to eat or wear any clothes if I wanted to sneak.

Slightly off topic, but true story.  I did my first two years of college at CSU which is in the college town of Ft. Collins.  At that time (late 90's) there was a hot wing place called Cluck U that offered the "911 challenge" where you had to eat 6 of their 911 hot wings within a half an hour without drinking anything, and if you could, you would get your name and picture on the wall.  Local legend had it that they actually sprayed the wings with pepper spray.  You had to sign a waiver before you ate them.  It was sort of tradition that all of the freshman boys would, at some point, test their manhood by trying the challenge.  I went along with several of my male friends when they tried the challenge, and never saw anyone finish it.  My friend Beau seemingly lost his mind and ran out of the restaurant and was, like, drinking water in the street gutter and scraping his tongue with trash.  

My point being:

Asmo, you need to try this: Blair's After Death sauce. One drop of it flavors an entire pot of chili.

I got some on my hand once, and accidentally somehow got it in my mouth. I drank 6 glasses of milk and I was still in literal pain an hour later!

They even had an "16 Million Reserve" edition (+/- 3200 times spicier than Tabasco), which were all sold.
You could however settle for their "Ultra Death" sauce (1,1 Million Scoville units). The original After death sauce is "only" 50,000 scoville units,
which is spicy enough for most humans, but not for an Asmo (or me).

Really?! One can has one that?! Because I have the original After Death and... Well, I'm kind of using it like ketchup - liberally.

Capsaicin tolerance... Fish, Asmos and cats on tricycles, they have it. That's why The Asmo likes to get his hands on habaneros whenever he can. Over 100K on that somethingorother-scale is a must for The Asmo to award it over two chilies in hotness.
