I hate to be the bearer of bad news to white folks (in Europe or America), but it is quite probable that northern Europe and the United States will look more like a United Nations lobby than Downton Abbey within the next half-century.

I look at my white skin in the mirror and I say, "thank God all this mottled horrible stuff will be washed away in 50 years."

Climate change and just general migration patterns will combine with easy travel for these parts of the world to simply change their shade a tad.

Why? It's a simple numbers game. Most of the world is NOT northern European. The world is going to become ever more migratory.

It's really not a big deal. I say, embrace it. Darker-toned skin is much, much healthier than what I've got.

Complaining about it is nothing more than a strange mental illness that will be ridiculed by future sociologists and historians.
