I'm as clueless as you on this. Skin color is largely unimportant, and we'd make a lot more progress as society if we stopped focusing on it so much. Sad reality (at least in the U.S.) is that people seem to care a lot about what color you were fortunate (or unfortunate) enough to inherit from your parents.
