Of Color

Lucia Whalen, who called the cops on Professor Gates, says she is NOT WHITE, and she told her lawyer to make that clear:

"Contrary to published reports that a 'white woman' called 911 and reported seeing 'two black men' trying to gain entry into Mr. Gates home, the woman, who has olive colored skin and is of Portuguese descent, told the 911 operator that she observed 'two men' at the home," Murphy's statement read.

Portuguese... so she's a European-American. But she's not white.

I'm wondering about my wife. She's part Italian. Her skin has been described as olive toned, at least compared to mine...

Are we an interracial couple?

The definition of white
is increasingly hard to get right.

To be technical, I think,
I'm really closer to pink.
