I wish I was Irish with darker colored skin. I am so pale white that you can see every poor from which my hair sprouts on my arms and legs. I am so pale white that my skin is often red and irritated looking. I am so pale white that if I spend time in the sun, I either stay ghostly white or turn into a tomato (there is no tan for me). That is pretty pale white if you ask me.
