Great phrase I heard years ago, no idea where, but it stuck: "No such thing
as white people - we're pink in the summer and grey in the winter."

I will even elaborate on that with the translation of a mail I once
received:
"Do you get it?
When a black man sits in the sun, he is black
When he is sick, he is black
When he is angry, he is black
When he is cold, he is black
When he is hot, he is black
When a white man sits in the sun, he turns brown
When he is angry, he turns red
When he is sick, he turns green
When he is drunk, he turns blue
When he is short of breath, he turns purple
When his liver isn't functioning well, he turns yellow
When he is dead, he has turned white
Yet, the black man is called colored.
If you get it, please explain it to me."
