Great point. When Joy Reid returns her hair color to its natural dark state, I will cease wearing my dreadlock hat and let my bald head proudly show.

Not all Mexicans are dark. Even in a family there can be different levels of melatonin, mine included. My wife is a good example and she's of Mexican descent too, she looks like a gringa. Your post was stereotypical and that's what is insensitive. I personally as a medium hued person couldn't give a flying Schiff if someone wants to "appropriate" my skin color. It's just comical that those same people may not like "brown" people but they want to look like them.

it's comical you think that's why....

I should have added, "some of those people", instead of those same people.
