The crayons are real, by the way: http://www.amazon.com/Multicultural-Crayons-Eight-Skin-Colors/dp/B000RMOEL2

2. Reminds me of a Village Voice cover from years ago
depicting an even larger variety of crayons in hues from pink to dark brown -- all labeled "flesh".

Damned if I can find it, though. :(

3. If those are real crayons... LOL @ the "white" and "black" crayons.
There are no WHITE or BLACK people.
There's very pale pech colored skin and very dark brown skin... but nobody's "white/black"

and we've been using those crayons in my class for years. We call them "people colors". :)

And we have the markers too.

7. I'm third from the right in winter months...
and a mixture of third/fourth from the right during the summer.

And I'm "Caucasian."

8. Are you really from the Caucasus region?
Outdated terminology is great, isn't it?

12. Actually, not even close according to geneology.
My dad's family is from Ireland. Which means probably at some point we came from Scandinavia or Germany.
My mom's family is from Northern and Southern Italy, and Spain. Which means we probably came from North Africa (Sicily and maybe Spain) and god knows where (Northern Italy).
My mom's family is extremely dark. I have jet black hair with red highlights, hazel eyes, olive skin and freckles.

When I'm in Mexico for research, most people assume I'm Mexican.
