In after school tutoring an African American student of mine made a comment about his skin getting "whiter." I held out my arm to his and said "I don't know, looks like you've got a little way to go." They laughed and I said that's pretty funny because "I want to be darker, I lost my tan." A different, very vocal, African American child then said
...."Man I can't lay out in the sun, I turn into a Krispy Kreme Doughnut."
Not sure what that means but this was after they passed lotion around my room. That's how we got on this crazy topic.
