i’ve long suspected that my people - white people - are genetic freaks. finally now there’s proof: Scientists Find A DNA Change That Accounts For White Skin. from the article:
The work suggests that the skin-whitening mutation occurred by chance in a single individual after the first human exodus from Africa, when all people were brown-skinned. That person’s offspring apparently thrived as humans moved northward into what is now Europe, helping to give rise to the lightest of the world’s races.
and when these genetic anomalies known as white folks can get together as brothers and sisters and invent a sunblock pill of SPF 60 or more so i can go outside and not get a massive sunburn - that will be a beautiful day indeed.
