Then again you do have those strange instances where some people look good without a tanned complextion. ( Anne Heche )
And black people can tan.....I have a friend who is black and has complained in the past about being sunburnt.

Good point. Down here, there aren't many really pale people. It has nothing to do with being proud of your whiteness, or whatever, it has to do with trying to acclimate to your surroundings. If you live in Fla, it is nearly impossible not to have some kind of tan anyway, unless you walk around in pants and a turtleneck everyday. Lots of people I know use the tanning bed to even their color out.
And yes, black people can tan. I even know some black people who use the tanning bed (as I said, to even out color).
