Subject: darkness


Can I please ask for ideas on the subject of darkness/fairness of body
outside of or prior to modern racialist discourse?  e.g. 'I am very dark,
but comely'; gentlemen prefer blondes. (I know the 'outside' is disputable
- I'm trying to suggest a 'not obviously' position).
with thanks!
