Your eyes scan
a person's face skin hair
first, and describe
in detail
every property;
your eyes scan
each person
refusing
to stuff them in
a category
for the sake of discourse
I have a friend who's very pale, one whose skin I'd say is light brown, one whose skin is pinkish-pale and freckled... they are not white, they are not black, first, unless they choose to be.
