Probably ruddy - that's the literal meaning of the Hebrew 'dm

Why are middle easterners considered "white?"

Why the fudge do moronic Americans use the 19th century junk-science term "caucasian."

Why do we, alone among nations, categorize "hispanic" as a separate racial category?

Why do retards in the New York area refer to Latinos as "Spanish."

occuring alongside the migration of modern humans out of Africa between 100,000 and 50,000 years ago.

Not so fast. There is growing evidence that the Out of Africa was just one more Liberal brain fart. Modern man seems to have evolved separately in Europe, and possibly Asia as well, from Homo erectus.

So they could move to the 'burbs and complain about people bringing down the property values.

Well, if you believe in evolution, then it occurs to me that the earliest humans had white skin at the very beginning simply for the reason that animals with fur tend to have light skin as there is no need for such a high melanin content.

As the earliest humans lost the need for hair that covered ones entire body, our skin gradually darkened to protect us from the sun.

I always thought it was because God took us out of the oven too soon. The next batch he burnt black. The third batch came out a beautiful tan and was just right. At least this is how my Indian anthropology professor explained it.

They needed to camouflage themselves when hunting in snow and they didn’t know how to tan hides and dye them white yet, so they simply told their bodies to do the evolution thing and turn white. There, logical explanation for everything.
