Fair to Medium-fair. I'm German and Italian, so that's where it comes from.

There's no option between tan and dark. That would be me.

I'm black and Native American but had jaundice as a kid so my skin color is fairly light.

I chose tan, and on the chart I'm about a 19 or so...dark hair, brown eyes, medium to tan skin. I'm of Eastern European ancestry with one Mexican ancestor thrown in there to make things a bit darker :)

I'm fair. My sunburns are easily acquired, take days to heal, and never leave me the dignity of a suntan.

I'm super-pale...red hair though, so I guess it's to be expected!

The problem is that 99.999999999% (or thereabouts) of the world's population does not post on WP. Most people in Africa don't even have phones, let alone computers to post on WP. So your stats will be horribly skewed.

You could do a study of the WP population, however. It would be interesting to know what % of WP folk identify as what ethnic/racial/color group.

That's probably exactly what's going on. :roll:
