Well, I happen to think it's a lovely complexion, but then I have some cultural biases that way.
It'll be nice when someone comes up with simple melanin pills that people can take to adjust their skin color to suit conditions. But even the darkest people I know still worry about sunburn at times.
Why thank you. I like it too... on other people. (I'm like those people who like breasts as long as they don't have to be the ones to carry them around.)
You're right, a darker complexion isn't a cure-all. And I suppose if science were going to come up with something to help humanity, I might go for apomictic corn or an inexpensive AIDS vaccine or self-defense telekinesis for battered women before I'd go for melanin pills. Oh well :-)
