^Okay, no, first of all just because he's not black doesn't mean he's Caucasian. He is Latino. Latino is not white.

And in regard to the original question: no, his skin's not getting whiter? haha... I mean there may be periods where it's a little *darker* than normal if he's been on vacation and got tan, but yeah... it's exactly the same shade as it's always been. Perhaps you just saw something with him under really strong lighting? Because heavy lighting always washes people out.

Like how you hate Obama just because he's black. Come on, steffi, say the n-word. You know you wanna.

Obama's father was a black man from Kenya and his mother was a white woman from Kansas. He's mixed race, kiddo.

It's not two different "eras", kid.

Yes, yes, we are all a part of the human race- and I am never one to debate the fact that the world would be a lot better off if we focused on the things that unite us rather than the things that divide us. But that said, I have to assume you know full well what I was getting at: that Caucasian, for all intents and purposes, is used as another term for "white", and no, a Latino person for whom their Latino heritage is an important part of their identity, culture, and life experience, is not going to appreciate being labeled as "white" just because they're not black.

And in terms of your last comment... huh?? Are you implying that Lin has ever tried to identify himself as black? Because he hasn't. At all. If anything he's only suggested to a certain extent that there is some commonality there between the kinds of struggles a black person might experience and a Latino person might experience, which is true. Black and Latino people (and this is probably true of most/all minority groups, but especially those two) tend to experience notably high rates of poverty, legal issues, police brutality, etc. So a Latino man recognizing that and showing solidarity with the black community and their struggles does not mean that he is trying to "claim their identity".
