      I know there are often pragmatic reasons for this but I kind of feel like modern animation/sequential art has verifiably demonstrated that in fact the standard biological range of human hair colors actually sucks and very saturated colors are strictly aesthetically superior

      You know this is literally the argument racists make for why white people with blonde hair and blue or green eyes are naturally more beautiful than anyone else though

      I actually did think about that but I don't agree that white people are more saturated in a photoshop sense, they're just a lighter shade, actual blondes are strictly inferior to people with hair the color of lemons

      It's fair to say that redheads are more saturated than non-redheads (pheomelanin is distinguished from eumelanin by being brighter)

      Thomas Jefferson's famous racist passage from Notes on the State of Virginia says that white people are more beautiful specifically because they're *redder* (the skin being paler means you can see more of their blood)

      According to him it's because it makes it easier to see people's emotional reactions, like you can more easily tell when someone turns pale from fear or blushes from embarrassment or gets flushed from passion or anger

      I think that's just because he didn't look at dark-skinned people very closely though

      Also, it seems likely to me that all of the Black people Thomas Jefferson ever encountered were strongly motivated to conceal their true feelings from him.

      It is a thing that white people just don't realize people of darker skin tones do in fact blush and blanche and tan in the sun and all that There's a Boondocks strip about it

      Replying to @arthur_affect @avram and

      It's a whole cultural shibboleth that white people don't know what the word "ashy" means when it refers to skin tone and get confused when you use it in that context

          This is one of those things that comes up in mixed-race/mestizx people where, literally, white-passing privilege can absolutely become seasonal if you're sufficiently liminal to be tilted to one side or the other by sunlight
