The whole "team dark skin vs. team light skin" thing is stupid. How about "team all skin"?

I'm looking fwd to when skin colour can be easily adjusted -then it'll be very hard to keep up with who's in and who's out and who should be hating who and who did what :-)

@SW-User Be careful what you wish for. In India there is a lively trade in skin lightening products because light skin is regarded as higher status. The availability of them and dyes that would darken the skin doesn't eliminate the discrimination that already exists, it just enables some people to adjust their appearance so as to ensure their membership of the favoured set. It has more to do with economics and status than specifically the skin colour.
