We talk about a non-gender binary. Shouldn’t we also apply the same line of thinking to race?

Butter skin, olive oil skin, or dark chocolate skin?

My flesh tone:

Pantone skin tone

For evolutionary perspectives, we all got different skin tones. East Asians got 4 distinct seasons (hot summer, mild autumn, very cold and snowy winter, and bright spring). Thus the Pantone of our skin must be a bit on the fair side (to absorb more Vitamin D or whatever).

What does skin tone gotta do with our moral, ethical, or philosophical worth?

Nada!

What race am I? I’m red!

Why do we create binaries for things?

For example:

1. Rich vs Poor
2. Smart vs Dumb
3. Apple vs Android
4. Apple vs Microsoft
5. Black vs White
6. Man vs Woman

Nuance is key.

Nuance is the answer.
