When we were still a colony I was referred to as "The Light Bulb." We don't have official nicknames, it was just something that some of my sisters would call me... The reason why is because when you look at our Founding Pictures I stuck out like a sore thumb... Like a LIGHT BULB. I wasn't the only white sister (there were 2 others) but I was the tallest, and the "brightest"... (I'm pretty damn pale ) But I didn't take it to heart. I thought it was funny, and even told my mom, who also thought it was funny.

So even though I wasn't referred to as the "Token", it still alluded to my skin color, or lack there of... And I knew that it wasn't meant to be malicious in any way.

Just trying to bring some light into this thread. da-da-dum...

Fraternally,
