Northern Ontario,
Some people right here in this forum judge you....
If your skin is white "I believe one poster called it melanin deficient"
You must be racist!

It's good everyone can have a global cry and hug.

I'm an apple too. Green on the outside and white on the inside.

Things have gotten too bizarre for me not to be an Alien.

I have Space Rights.

Hush now. petros is proving scientifically that Floyd George had it coming.
Apparently Tony Timpa had it coming first, but that's okay. Gotta keep up the narrative that only Black people are murdered by the police and that only Black people are denied justice when it happens.

Only one summer in my younger days did I ever come close to look anything but white.
I was cuttin 4 foot lumber in the bush that summer and used chain saw bar oil as a sun blocker/ mosquito blocker and would only wash off in a lake every evening on my way home.
By september, I didn't look native, but that was the darkest brown I ever got!

There is a link between amount of sun someone gets and multiple sclerosis. The further north or south you are the higher the odds of developing it.

Funny listening to folk squeal their OUTRAGE! over calling White people "melanin-deficient." It's jut a fact.

What do you figure the chances are that they'll take the mental leap to the notion that words matter?

It is interesting, but I have not had such situations for a long time. I am from https://populationstat.com/united-states/seattle. I learned long ago to focus on myself and my life. Other people do not interest me. And I hope I do not interest them too. And I prove once you introduce this approach, believe me, you will have much less negative in your life.

None of which explains why you got your boxers in a bunch over my use of the term "melanin-deficient."

Is it? It's not a deficiency. Maybe you should learn what eumelanin is first and what role it plays in nature. First off everyone has the same number of melanocytes. In human skin melanogenisis is initiated by exposure to UV radiation. The stronger the sun and the more exposure you have to it, the darker the skin. It's that simple.
As the generations go by, Black people living in northern climes tend to lighten up, even without the introduction of a "snowback in the wood pile" into the genetic stream. It's called evolution, or adaptation if you prefer. I'm sure the opposite would happen with White people living closer to the equator.



Anyone who uses melanin as some kind of racial superiority argument is no better than the nazis or the 17th century Europeans who came up with the moronic idea of basing the worth of one's race by their skin colour in the first place.

There is more truth in that than most people would think...
The natives that come here from Attawapiskat every summer are not much darker than people around here.
On another note I have picked up a sunburn in March while ice fishing on a warm day with my shirt off
You get a double whammy with the reflection of the sun on the snow!
