I'm a blue-eyed pretty white guy. Would do well in a 3rd Reich I guess : ). My mother told me I look like son of a miller. Most people nowadays seem to prefer dark, more sunbathed tones of skin, but I don't care.

Still being white in a white country (Poland) is not much of a hassle. I can understand how frustrating the disparity between who you feel you are and how you look can be. I have a friend who is Vietnamese and she sometimes has it hard only because she looks different.
