Flashes of white
When the nicer weather arrives, so does the warmth. With that, people throw off their down-filled duds and slip into something less heat-confining: t-shirts, shorts and flip-flops.
But, there’s one big problem with that… their skin is really white. It's the equivalent of having the sun being reflected in a mirror. Seriously, if I see another pair of pasty-coloured legs, my corneas will stop working from retinal burn-in.
Unless people are naturally pigment-rich, they need a serious dose of colour.
Being the giver that I am, I want to either a) tell them to throw on a pair of long-sleeved shirt/pants, b) make them to go the tanning salon (either UV or spray-on), and/or c) rub self-tanner all over them. It’s the least I can do.
And, I won’t be doing it for me, but for the millions of others who have to endure this visual train-wreck; a series of flashes of white. Because when you think about it, who the hell wants to go blind in the season of sun and sex?

As much as I'd prefer a little color, it doesn't really matter....if they're wearing flip flops and shorts, it's very hot with me.....
The ones who prepare for the season with UV tans will pay for it dearly once they reach 40. The ones who go to spray-on tan joints are just victims.
No one should have to feel self-conscious because of their skin colour.
LOL! my word verification ends in uvb
uh-oh. "pastey white stay-at-home" (as the old BSA Handbook used to note) here.
Note to Steven - if you are ever in the same vicinity as the old Lem, wear your sunglasses.
Discrimination based on skin colour??
Racist!
Dantallion: Because I'm darker than the 'norm' it would be considered reverse-discrimination.
Mais non?
There is no such thing as "reverse" discrimination! This is nothing more than an un warranted attack on the pigmentally challenged! Oh, for shame...
There. I protested to you.
i love flips and shorts.
and listen. those of us without a lot of pigment need a month or so until we start to get some sun. give us a break and cut us some slack. by the end of summer ill be a rich mahogany brown.
omg the light! the light!! yup, been blinded by those whities alot lately. get a tan people!!

Haven't you seen the movie Powder? Come on, be a little more sensitive to those of us who are whiter than your average polar bear!
