Yeah, my husband is half greek and has never had a sunburn in his life. He gets so dark that he actually will wear sunscreen just to keep from getting too dark on his shoulders. He kids me that my parents think he's "suspiciously dark."
He actually was refused for a medical study when he was a resident. They told him they were looking for caucasians. He said, "Ummm, I've always considered myself caucsian." She said, "Well...." So he said, "I guess I'm not the right kind of caucasian!"
