I am pasty and I know how annoyed I feel with a dark bandaid sticking out and 80 questions. Dark skinned people have the opposite trouble in addition to the whole idiocy of every damn thing catering to whites ... as if dark skin is not of any value. The absense of affirmation in the mundane things speaks volumes. I don't know how that feels. Thankfully, but I can still see it is wrong.

Ace bandages .. you are next....
