With his faithful sidekick Pantone boy, they fight the evil forces of Monochrone man and Vignette woman.

<semi-rant>Why do people who at some point have African in their ancestry feel the need to find new and confusing ways to label themselves? In South Africa, black means no white people in your family, coloured means there are. I've never felt the need to distinguish my particular shade of pink from the darker mediterranean shades or the whiter Scandinavian folk<semi-rant>

Perhaps to highlight how pointless it is, white folk should campaign for more than just 'caucasian' on forms, such as 'blends in in Mexico', 'surfer dude', 'part Sicilian', 'Hitler would like me' and 'glow in the dark computer geek'.

//Why do people who at some point have African in their ancestry// According to various studies, ultimately, all of us have ancestors from Africa.

I'm Afro-White-European, with camo-spots of course. And the Ethiopian and I are quite contented as we are, thank you very much.

[zen_tom] I knew someone would point that out. At the time I couldn't think of a more accurate or concise description.

[bigsleep] That would make casting for Beneton ads much easier.
